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

Try

  ifconfig eth0 up
  dhclient eth0

  • I tried that and got series of echo back statements which indicated that the port was being bound to an IP address. However when I then entered service networking start, I get back the same message
