Michael Deats Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 How do you configure backtrack to work with your network ? I'm asuming you want it to get an address from whatever supplies your DHCP? If so, then you just click on the "start" menu, go to services -> network -> start network if I remember correctly.

Mr-Protocol Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 If you are having difficulties getting it on the network, should you really be playing with a penetration testing distro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of what I was thinking but I didn't want to say it out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I guess its all part of learning, at some point in time we all gonna have to learn something new. I got something for you danielbrthwt, check out this link. http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/in...ur_Network_Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattZ Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Another approach is through the terminal. Type : ifconfig -a (this will shouw you the name of all your network cards) ifconfig <card name> up (this will bring your card up) /etc/init.d/wicd start (this will start a networking program which should get your IP from your DHCP server) If you don't have a DHCP server, you can give yourself a static one by typing : ifconfig <card name> inet X.X.X.X (where X is the IP you want) Now that I think of it it might not be inet, it might be something else, but I'm too tired to check it atm. If no one has corrected me by the time I get back I'll double check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) dhclient eth0 Replace eth0 with whatever your card name is and it will get an IP via DHCP (lan) Also I don't think this thread belongs in "Community Projects" lol.
