Is your computer connected directly to the modem, or does it connect through a router?

Either way, all you really have to do is just configure your network card with the correct IP address and you should be good to go. To configure the network card, look under the System menu in Knoppix and there should be a gui tool to configure the card there.

for wine, if the file you downloaded is in tar.gz format, extract it and take a look through the README file.

for webcam, I have never tried to use a webcam ever, so I can't be of help there.
