HI
Iam using backtrack for a while in vmware.
usually i wil not be able to connect to internet but somhow use to manage , click on something and make it to connect.
but somedays before i think i changed some of the settings where i am not able to ping to host ,not even to default gateway...
if set the ip to 192.168.1.20
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 .....

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)).
