+
A: the following instruction should work:
+
http://howto.htlw16.ac.at/at-highspeed-howto-2.html (German)
+
 
+
==== Q: How do I configure SAMBA or how can i use windows shares? ====
+
A: See [[Smb Client HowTo]] for connecting to windows shares. See [[Samba Quick FAQ]] for setting up a Samba server
+
 
+
==== Q: I have installed to my Hard Drive and how do I connect to internet using DHCP? ====
+
A: The harddisk-installed system is a "normal" Debian. You have to add the following  lines to ''' /etc/network/interfaces''' :
+
* auto eth0
+
* iface eth0 inet dhcp
+
re-start the network with ''' /etc/init.d/networking restart''' to have the changes take effect.

==== Q: How do I browse through my Windows network at the office ? Can I log in at an NT domain ? ====
+
A: K-menu > Internet > [[Lin Neighborhood]]. Go to its preferences and specify IP for master server or WINS server. See also Samba info above.
+
 
+
 
+
==== Q: How do I use a static IP address with the CD-Rom? How do I modify /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf which are read only files?  AFAIK, this is necessary to specify my IP address and my (ISP's) nameservers. ====
+
 
+
===== A: GUI driven configuration
+
The read only files are copied into a ram disc upon start up, hence they are easy to edit when root. Several tools are made available for easy configuration. For v3.2-v3.9:
+
  K-menu > KNOPPIX > Network/Internet > Network card configuration
+
which is the same same as performing the
+
  sudo netcardconfig
+
command from a shell. Fast, easy, automated script:
+
* decline DHCP
+
* enter IP address
+
* accept or edit other default settings
+
* Start firewall
+
 
+
===== A: Manual configuration
+
* start root shell
+
* Specification of nameservers, these should work for anyone as a first hack
+
  cat >> /etc/resolv.conf <<EORESOLV
+
  nameserver 139.30.8.7
+
  nameserver 139.30.8.8
+
  <<EORESOLV
+
* Overwrite original network description
+
  cat > /etc/network/interfaces <<EOINTERFACES
+
  auto lo eth0
+
  iface lo inet loopback
+
  iface eth0 inet static
+
    address /your IP number goes here/
+
    netmask 255.255.255.0
+
    gateway /and your gateway's address/
+
  <<EOINTERFACES
+
* Get things going, lo is going already
+
  ifup eth0
+
* Start the fire wall with K-MENU -> KNOPPIX -> Services -> Firewall (someone please give the exact english spellings here)
+
 
+
In order to make this persistent with the next reboot, one should create a persistent image o the local changes, suggested is to use a USB stick for such. See K-MENU -> KNOPPIX -> Configuration -> Install permanent image + Save configuration. No data on the USB stick will be overwritten.
