I cannot get backtrack connected to internet

[hexbase]

Hi,

Im a newbie, so be patient

Im using the vmware version of backtrack. I start it without problems but i cannot connect to internet. Im using the l0 device. Its the default one, i think. With backtrack 3b i didn't have this problem.


Thanks

Is the vmware player set to share the internet connection?

Yeah I would check your VM settings first, as BT3 get it's device list from what VM provides based on what you have or tell it what you want to have.

You may want to check to make sure that you are using bridged networking so your virtual adapter can pull its own IP address from your DHCP pool.

For that matter you may want to make sure you have settings. The standard commands still apply in a vm.

ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0

etc...

the lo interface is the loopback interface, use the eth0 interface instead.

or ath0 if you have the Atheros wifi.

The command ifconfig -a will tell you all of your interface devices, even if they are powered down.
