However, I must let Barry know that he puts a smile on my face with words like fleabay. Keep on the good work Barry :D

For testing purposes I guess you would be fine...

Anyway, how are you generating the shellcode? Through the metaploit site? I would assume it would use the IP rather than the DNS name.

There are many good tutorials here on the BT forums but I always like to browse the creator site of the tool I am using if I run into problems too (http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php)

Making it a bootable CD is causing your issue. If you burn the ISO it is already bootable. Doing anything after that can cause problems.

I will second the recommendation to burn the ISO with...

Thanks for coming back to post the solution :)

EEP! I apologize.

I did a search and saw that a bunch of people were happy to see it working in BT4, I shouldn't have assumed that meant it wasn't working in BT3.

After a search on that card...

Pretty sure that card doesn't work with BT3.
