I am using a Nec PCI card and cat5 cable the DSL comes into  a Modem then 
cat5 to the Linksys befsr41 router with cat5 to each computer, I have never 
had any trouble connecting with Damn small linux or Knoppix but BasicLinux 
or bl3 seems to be dificult to setup, I have tried everything except editing 
netsetup, I mean I tries all the insmod/s and ifconfig eth0 198.168.1.100 
and nothing seems to work, I am a newbie and am embarrassed at this next 
question, do I need to edit netsetup and try to run it ? It looks like 
script and it may need to be run ? If I do need to edit netsetup what do I 
use to edit it ? and how? would the word processor do it ? I forgot to 
mention , My router is "WIRE" no wireless here....
I tried all the suggestions several times and still no connection ?
