Vmware Workstation 7+ Backtrack 5r3 network problem

[Skorpinok Rover]

Hello,

I have BT5 R3,Windows XP, Metasploitable 2, Running on VMware Workstation 7,recently i copied the cloned copy of my vm's on my new dell xps.the network adapter is set to bridged mode (Replicate physical network state is checked) when i type ifconfig on my Backtrack it get the following:

root@bt:~# ifconfig

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

RX packets:223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

RX bytes:26146 (26.1 KB) TX bytes:26146 (26.1 KB)

Can anyone please suggest me how to fix this ?

Regards

Make sure the adapter is "enabled" in VM settings. Check the network adapter settings to make sure they are correct.

If all is correct, try

ifconfig eth0 up
[/CODE]

@ Mr. Protocol . Network adapters are enabled, when i type

ifconfig eth0 up, it shows

root@bt:~# ifconfig eth0 up

eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

[Mr-Protocol]

Try

ifup -a
ifconfig
[/CODE]
Let me know what that shows.

Thank you so much Mr.Protocol, Problem resolved... after hours of intensive checking the culprit was this new Mac afee antivirus that came pre-installed with my new dell xps, its built in home network wouldn't allow network adapters to virtual machines, so i uninstalled it & reinstalled with my favourite Norton anti-virus 2012. fired up backtrack & typed ifconfigifconfig
