so last night i wiped my HDD clean and i partitioned my drive
245 GB = Windows 7
5 GB = Backtrack 4

the dual booting is working great the only problem i have is with the bt4 i cant get online, im new with the bt4 layout and all i go to network settings and it shows 127.0.0.1 (home network) and something about loopback...anyone know what's up?

also..i seem to have lost my windows 7 OEM key, anyone know of one?

going through a router to go online? if yes what's the router IP?

and no, no warez/keys/serials here...

yes i'm behind a router.
but it's a windstream modem/router in one, would that make a difference with finding the ip or anything like that?

nope, don't matter...I assume the router provides DHCP, so open /etc/network/interfaces and add (after the loopback entry):

Code: Select all

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

when done restart the networking:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/networking  restart

and you should have a connection...

remember if windows can connect to the internet, then copy the IPs from ipconfig to the BT side

i checked this ,
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp is already there.
backtrack3 automatically recognized the drivers yet bt4 does not ..hm.
