Hi,
I'm dual booting Windows XP and Kanotix2007, both installed on the same hdd. I have a router, directly connected to the ethernet port of the computer. I can get a good connection on XP but nothing at all on Kanotix, I'm sorry to say.
Playing about, I notice that I get a message saying 'no access concentrator found'. Has this something to do with it?
Incidentally, I found I can't get a connection on another distro, either, so something is wrong somewhere.
Some help here would be appreciated. |

if you have dhcp in the router enabled, network should run during boot automatic, see the symbol on panel left from clock. If you have static ip-adress deinstall better the network-manager and run "netcardconfig" from console or choose the entry in the kanotix-menu.
apt-get --purge remove network-manager |

Thanks for your reply, Merlin.
DHCP is not enabled in the router as it wouldn't give me a connection under XP, either.
I entered the config details using the menu entry and, at the end, got a message that said 'interface enabled. Do you want it auto-enabled at boot?'
I opted for 'yes' but the panel icon, next to the clock, still said 'not connected'.
So I opened a console and ran 'netcardconfig'. I got:
Xlib: connection to "0.0" refused by server
Xlin: no protocol specified
Xdialog: Error initialising the gui
Do you run under X with GTK+ V1.2.0+ installed?
I hope you can make sense of all this. I didn't try the apt-get --purge remove network manager command as I didn't know if I should do this next or not. |

first run
apt-get --purge remove network-manager
after this run as root netcardconfig
if you don't find the menu-entry in the kanotix menu change to root in terminal as "sux" and not as "su" and start netcardconfig. |

Hi Merlin,
Am in some difficulty here. Have lost my internet connection with windows now, too. So I'm having to use a live cd to communicate at all.
I'll let you know how I get on once the problems have been sorted out.
Thanks for your help so far. |

In case you want to use my-pppoeconf in live mode boot with
nodhcp
cheatcode. netcardconfig is the wrong tool if you don't need a router - which i would highly recommend. If you don't need PPPoE authenfication you should be online without any cheatcode via automated DHCP request. |
