I am using Backtrack 5 I am in as root, using bash When I enter service networking start I receive networking stop/waiting.
I use Kwrite to look at the file /etc/network/interfaces and it says the primary network interface is eth0 auto eth0
I know the network services are OK - because this is a dual boot system - and I have no problems with the Windows 7 side.
I should mention that this issue just started. In the past service networking start worked just fine. Now I stuck. Any advice would be appreciated
