proper settings enabled in backtrack??

this is what I am wondering... I am new to back track and VMs (not stupidly new just new enough not to be overly knowledgeable of where everything is on the system)

So I would have to assume you have say the ethernet interface of bt bridged to the actual physical interface of your host machine.

And then you say plug in usb wireless card to host machine and give bt access to this wireless card, and then say connect bt to some wireless network. And now you want your physical machine to be able to access that wireless network, and or use that wireless network gateway for your internet access?

Is this the case? If not give more details of how you have BT connected to your physical machine, and then what network is connected to BT that you want to use from your physical machine.

Hint: routing and gateways! How would your physical machine know that network X is available using the bridged interface to BT, on some other interface that BT is connected to.

Also is BT setup to forward traffic between these interfaces?

From the BT box what is it using for its default gateway, what does it show in its route table?
