Getting online with Knoppix

    Hey, did a search but couldn't find anything too similar to this problem...

    I installed Knoppix on my laptop and can't get online with it.

    It's Knoppix 3.6 and I've got it installed as the only OS on the laptop.

    Tried using netcardconfig as root and chose DHCP broadcast, that didn't work... tried no DHCP broadcast with:
    IP address for eth0: 192.168.0.1
    Network Mask for eth0: 255.255.255.0
    Broadcast Address for eth0: 192.168.0.255
    Default Gateway: 192.168.0.254
    Nameserver (s): 192.168.0.254

    These were all the default values as I don't know how to change them...
    Can't get online...

    The router is a ZyXel (the one you get with IolBB) but my ISP is Eircom...
    The ethernet card is a Xircom 10/100 RE-100 (I'm not even sure what information is needed about the ethernet card... have it ages so don't know the full make or anything)

    I've also tried using the ADSL/PPPoE Configurator... it finds eth0 but then says:
    Sorry, I scanned 1 interface(s), but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem.

    I'm pretty much a complete Linux noob so I have no idea what to do here... anyone have any (newb-friendy) advice on getting online with this setup?

    Cheers.
    Steve
