Although Knoppix is based on Debian, it's not Debian per se; you might
find better support for Knoppix on a Knoppix forum, such as
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=1
You don't provide enough information about your setup. Do you mean
you're trying to get connected to the internet via dial-up? Via ethernet
LAN? Via usb-to-cable-modem?
What have you tried? What errors/symptoms are you getting?
Are you running strictly off the CD, or have you installed Knoppix to
the hard drive?
Since Knoppix pretty much automagically connects to an ethernet LAN, I
suspect you're connecting via dial-up, and most consumer modems (maybe
>90%?) are not designed to be used with Linux, and whereas some of them
can be forced to work with Linux, it's not generally a simple little
something that can be fixed with a click of the mouse or two.
But again, without more info from you, we can't even begin to take a
stab at helping you.
