Permission denied probably because you need to be root. You can use "sudo su" and change your user to root in a terminal, or just dont forget to use "sudo" first to prefix the commands.
Like:
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
sudo dhclient eth0
sudo shutdown -h now
etc...
i got it to work

From memory all network cards are disabled by default on backtrack 4. Been a while since I have used it. Digip's suggestion was my issue and after running dhclient before startx my networking issue went away.

It may also pay to see if you can set a static IP address and see if it still works.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
replace all ip addresses and subnetmasks to those that correspond to your network.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
To manually add a default gateway:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
Of course you would replace the IP address with your default gateways, also the eth0 interface is not always needed!
To manually assign your DNS servers:
echo nameserver 192.168.1.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
the errors i am getting are SIOCSIFADDER: permission denied
SIOCSIFFLAGS: permission denied
also i tried running dhclient before the startx command and all permissions are denied
if you have any other suggestions i would like you to reply

Try this before doing startx in backtrack.
update-rc.d wicd defaults /etc/init.d/wicd start startx
You should then be able to set up a connecting after starting.
the "/etc/init.d/wicd start" failed but thank you for trying to help me out
