Are you picking up DNS from dhcp when booting knoppix but
hand-configuring your k12ltsp?  It sounds like your
first DNS server entry is wrong or that server is
down.  What does the /etc/resolv.conf file contain?

Unlike DHCP, you can have as many DNS servers as you want.  However
if there is any firewall preventing you from reaching the
internet root servers directly you need to configure 'forwarders'
in /etc/named.conf to use your existing servers but keep
a local cache.
