Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
Is somebody able to me please, step by step explain like I under backtrack 4 beta, a DSL modem can set up thus I can online go?
Meh, why?
Why not just use the network manager.
Open a terminal:
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
This will light the green applet in the dock and simplify this entire process instead of using some crazy script.

Too easy.
I say do it all from the command line, as described on the wiki. If you can't manage to perform a basic task like configuring your network from the command line, you probably shouldn't be using BackTrack
Or even better, write your own network interface driver, IP stack, DHCP client and DNS resolver and use those to connect to the Internet. That's the way a real hacker would do it - none of this namby pamby use of pre written software!

I think the problem might be that when bt4 boots it says how to start networking, but doesn't explain about wireless. Initially I couldn't figure out why my wireless/networkmanager wasn't running eitherTook me half a sec to figure out I needed to manually start networkmanger but for a noob ehhhh
Just my $.02.. Maybe another info line at bootup would help?
