Unfortunately, this didn't work. that's odd... for everything in my lan, i don't have to do anything, knoppix figures it all out and automatically does dhcp. what do you have giving out dhcp addresses, anyway? > I added the lines that you suggested to /etc/interfaces (there were no > contents to start with in the file).
