Dignan Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 For future reference (I doubt your still there) All logins and boots have to be authenticated by a PDC, giving you rights and access priviliges to any comp you log into... I doubt knoppix will look to login on a PDC... The only chance is to use the same proxy server they use and try to connect to the internet that way....

Sly_C Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 oh ok but how do i set up an internet connection on knoppix? cause i can't get it to connect at home either? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 no knoppix will not authenticate to a PDC. most distros of linux will not. why it won't get on the web at home? I dunno. could be the usual sbc dsl crap they pull all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 You have to download the nForce2 drivers from nvidia and compile the drivers into your kernel. The drivers carry support for the AGP, LAN, and sound (sound don't work though). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

twohig5 Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 no knoppix will not authenticate to a PDC. most distros of linux will not. the easiest way i know to get a linux distro to log into a windows network, well its not that simple, but its not that bad either. you need at least one NIS server, and a active directory domain controller (or PDC for nt4) that has microsoft services for unix installed, with that you can sync the NIS domain to your active directory domain, and the linux boxes actually authenticate through the unix NIS server, but still use the windows login Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
