"Problem" solved - Laptop has an ethernet port and Wireless.
Kubuntu sees the Ethernet port as eth0 ( wireless is switched off in Bios)
Other distros that I have been using see the ethernet port as eth1, so I
have been trying to connect with the wrong port.
Discovered this by using PuppyLinux 2,14 LiveCD, which incidentally has
PuppyBackup, Pudd and PuppyMirror Backup, none of which I have tried
yet, but will try.
Thanks

My Benq Joybook A32E has suddenly developed a stuffed eth0 port. The
port can be "seen" by the system but cannot connect to anything
I've checked the Lan cable and the Ethernet switch by plugging them
into another PC which works OK.
Before I give the laptop into the tender hands of BenQ's repair center
( thankfully I took the 3 year warranty) I want to back up (clone?)
both my XP-Pro and my Linux partitions.
As the ethernet port isn't working I obviously can't do this over my LAN.
I would like to use MondoRescue as it can back up as contiguous CD/DVD
images, either to hard disk or directly to CD/DVD.
I have previously done this by booting Kubuntu 6.06 LiveCD and
downloading and installing MondoRescue, but as the ethernet port is
not working, this is not an option.
Is anybody aware of a LiveCD distro that includes MondoRescue?
Another option I haven't yet tried is to attach an external hard disk
via firewire or usb and use Keep to backup but I's rather use
MondoRescue.
Thanks in advance
Bill
