however every time when i disconnect and connect again through wicd it is changing the ip 10.0.0.100.
and in netstat it shows port open in 10.0.0.100
i have stuck in this for a while ,pls help me .....:confused::confused:
anyway thanks in advance....

:D:D

Some more details would be appreciated. Currently from your thread I can not tell weather you are using the latest version of Backtrack or not, neither the VMware version or Product.
Try mentioning what kind of card you use to connect, is it the integrated one or a USB one ?

If it's the integrated one VMware should get the IP from your host (depending on the Network settings from VMware (bridge, NAT)).

Iam using backtrack 5 r3,anyway thanks man .....
i have solved this problem
i put the firewall down,the network started to work.....
it is not secure know??so is there anyother way to get the problem solved???
