[ale] Knoppix weirdness

[dmcnash at charter.net (Doug McNash)]

Ok, this seems really weird to me...

I boot up Knoppix on a laptop connected to a dhcp server/wireless router
(a linux box).  I attempt to browse with Mozilla and get "no data"
back.  A trace of the traffic shows the three way handshake, the GET
gets sent followed by a RST returned by the http server.  Further
tracing shows a DNS query for eth1. (WTF?) to the router (which also
does DNS).  Putting eth1. in my table fixes it. 

Windows XP does not need it.

Anybody got a clue to give me as to what is going on here?
