Hi Joris,

So I tried knoppix, and, appart from not being able to write to the screen during loading/shutting down, it worked - everything except for the netwerk. I use an adsl modem of which I know it's usable in knoppix: on my own computer I use the same adsl modem; 


I don't know anything about asdl in the Netherlands. Does it actually
use PPPoE or a different protocol?
I don't know anything about the netwerk card - it's only reported as ?nbord 10/100 mbit network card" - but it uses the modem I normally use so the only problem it can be is the netwerk card. I tried pppoe in knoppix but no luck
I attached two output files, from lsmod output and dmesg output; And a logfile containing output from `ping localhost`, `ifconfig -a` , `ping 10.0.0.138`, and I attached the error from `pppoe` 


The adsl "modem" could be a router with integrated dhcp server.
Try "pump -i eth0".



eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 41e1.



This doesn't look like a adsl modem. The link should be 10mbps
half-duplex. At least this is what I see when I connect my dsl modem
(german telekom) to my machine.

Maybe the 8139 has an interrupt problem when APIC is turned on.
Try "knoppix noapic" at the Knoppix boot prompt.

You can also monitor outgoing/incoming network packets on the ethernet
card before starting pppoe or pump:
tcpdump -ni eth0

Thanks for your reply.
I tried this but it didn't really help. I got some output from the tcpdump but it ended with "network is down"
I forgot to tell you my adsl connection is over dhcp. relevant data from the boot log on this other computer:

Can you tell how I could try to get dhcp to work? I found there is a /sbin/dhcpd3 but I didn't see how to make it work as the configuration file was read-only (even for root) and the program didn't do configuring by itself 

I hope you can help,

Joris
