I don't have that in interfaces, but the Knoppix automatic stuff
works as expected. the server is found, a connection is established,
all is well:
knoppix@0[knoppix]$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:44:98:E7
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20c:f1ff:fe44:98e7/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:67 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:21856 (21.3 KiB) TX bytes:3008 (2.9 KiB)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc000 Memory:c0214000-c0214fff
but _then_ nothing further happens. no ping, ssh, http, no nothing.
something seems to trap all the incoming packets and hurl them into
oblivion. No, I haven't touched firewalls, or anything like that.
what diagnostic steps can I take?

I tried that, but sadly with no joy
