No Internet on BackTrack 4

[UnknownError]

I can't go to any website on BackTrack 4. Is it supposed to be like that? Im using a wireless connection.

Did you start networking?

/etc/init.d/networking start

Did you configure your wireless card? One way is with wicd:

/etc/init.d/wicd start

Then configure the wireless network connection using K Menu-Internet-Wicd Network Manager

backtrack doesn't start networking by its own, it's an unwanted behaviour if you're trying to be quiet. You can go online via Menu -> Services -> NETWORK -> Start NETWORK, then Menu -> Internet -> Wicd.

hey man

you need to start the network first

start > services > network> start network

and then to see waht connections are availeble click on:

start > internet> wcid network manager

and just connect to your home access point (routher )

for any more questions, just ask

I can see my gateway through my Ethernet card and can connect but apparently my built-in wireless card does not work because it does not see any wireless network on Wicd manager, any help?

Some commands that would help in trouble shooting:

/etc/init.d/networking restart
ifconfig -a [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]// Do you see wlan0 or wifi0 ?[/COLOR]
iwconfig [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]// this command will let you know if your wireless card is know by the system[/COLOR]

simply open terminal and type in:

start-network

then u can use "wicd" from Internet menu.

Ok enough has been said about this issue. There was enough help and a simple search would have be enough to find an answer too.
