Re: [debian-knoppix] re: Modem problem
Hi all,
I have been encountered Internet connection problem for some times. The
PC used for testing knoppix CD is running both ADSL and winmodem
seamlessly. I succeeded config network and modem of CD, connection
showed with counter running but I could not browse Internet nor
mailing. I tried a whole week without a solution. Now I am waiting for
next version of knoppix CD
B.R.
