This section covers local area networking configuration when the network is not started automatically. This is mostly for networks with static IP address assignment, typically old networks of Windows 95, 98, NT, and ME computers.
Click on the in the lower left corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu like the Windows Start Menu. Enter the "KNOPPIX" submenu. Enter the "Network/Internet" submenu. Select "Network card configuration".
This will open a series of dialog boxes that will request information about the network. There may be a screen asking with network card to configure; if so select one. The next screen will ask if the network settings should be configured through DHCP; click no unless your network has automatic configuration, and it failed to work the first time for a reason such as a disconnected cable. After you click no, it will ask you for an IP address. This and the subsequent settings rely on your network configuration, so I can't tell you what to do here.
