Newbie: my network doesn't network
Newbie question: please be patient!
I have just installed Debian from Knoppix; Knoppix saw everything on my system and it all worked like magic. Now I have a full install, but can't connect to the internet or to my local network. Every time I try, I get the error message
The connection was refused when trying to connect to...
Under windows I'd know what to do: it's as though I don't have TCP/IP bound to the network card, but I can't figure out how to do that, if that's the problem.

Thanks for your time, help and patience!

It's just two other PCs running windows (XP and win98 ) and a printserver connected via cable to a netgear router/adsl modem at 192.168.0.1 The netgear box has a DHCP server inside it, but I've reserved IP numbers in the netgear configuration for the 3 PCs for various other reasons- their internal IP numbersare all in the 192.168.0.n series
