as 4 days are left in the release of ubuntu to be downloaded i was thinking to try some live cd.I am using BackTrack 2 based on slax live cd but can not configure my network card .I have two net work card's
Intel(R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter for Connecting to Internet this card is detected by BackTrack but i do not know how to config it i mean i want to change it's ip address to 10.10.10.2x,i want to change default getway to 10.10.10.10,i want to change it's subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and i want to change DNS server to 202.133.44.x
This is the setting which my isp has told me to use
Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection: This card is not detected by BackTrack2 how do i config it
BackTrack2 is a pentest linux and can be downloaded for free from www.remote-exploit.org

Reason: Wrong Link
I must admit that I haven't used Backtrack for a long time. Do you have 255 different DNS-servers to use? You would need a more spesific IP-adress, unless you are hiding the rest for us. Anyway, add "nameserver 202.133.44.x" to /etc/resolv.conf
Then start your network-card with: ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2x netmask 255.255.255.0
Then add your gateway with: route add default gw 10.10.10.10
I'm not quite sure about gateway. I've never had to use it.
O.k.......
here is the my setting in Windows......simply how do i apply this in linux
ip address : 10.10.10.21
sub net mask :255.255.255.0
defaultgateway 10.10.10.10
DNS 1 :202.133.44.5
DNS 2 :202.133.55.6
Firewall disabled
mac address:OO:O2-B3-3e-ce-ea My isp record mac address so no other computer can connect using these settings
