But I am still facing some problems. There were some differences. My configuration is as follows: Ubuntu 9.04 : Host Backtrack 4 : Guest VMware workstation 7 There was only /dev/cdrom3. After the installation I found there was no Autorun in ~/.kde, I was under ~/.Kde3 and inside /user/lib/vmware-tools/bin and /user/lib/vmware-tools/bin32, I found : apploader, configure-gtk.sh vmware-tpvmlp, vmware-tpvmlpd, vmware-user-loader and others but couldn't find any vmware-toolbox-gtk. - Help needed.

If there is a DHCP server in the network: <strong> ifconfig eth0 up</strong> <strong>dhclient eth0</strong> 2. If I need to configure a static IP address on the interface: <strong>ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up</strong> <strong>route add default gw 192.168.1.254</strong> What I do for enabling the network is the following (as root):
1. If there is a DHCP server in the network:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0

2. If I need to configure a static IP address on the interface:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.254
