browse thru there and see if that helps
try "lspci" from a terminal and see if your netowrk card is detected
also try "ifconfig" and see what it shows
knoppix uses debian type setup, so most debian specific stuff will work
never worked with it myself, but I can tell you what your trying to achieve:
ethernet card is probably eth0, you want that setup to use dhcp
if the card is detected but not set up you might be able to just do something like "ifconfig eth0 inet dhcp" or something similar
you might also need to enter some dns #'s so you dont have host resolution problems, not sure where knoppix puts that stuff but I'd guess its in /etc/resolv.conf

The way I set mine up when I use Knoppix STD is, I right click on the desktop. This brings up a menu, go to Internet, Connect, netcard config. A window will pop up asking "Use DHCP Broadcast" Click yes.
I post this so you don't have to go to the command line just yet, since it sounds like you're just starting to play with Knoppix.

right click or whatever to find a menu, you want a terminal or console window.
remember DOS, same deal, blank window with a prompt, you can enter text commands from there
Only difference is with linux there's a whole lot more commands to learn, uses the same basic set as UNIX.
typing 'help' should give you a list
tyoing 'man" <command_name> will give you an online manual for the command you enter, linux comes with its own docs built in
