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.

If you are having difficulties getting it on the network, should you really be playing with a penetration testing distro?

Sort of what I was thinking but I didn't want to say it out loud.

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.

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.

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.
