VMWare with BT4 and USB mobile broad band

[owen666]

I'm running Windows Vista 32 sp2 with BT4 installed on VMWare but I can't use my mobile broadband USB connection on BT4. I can run USB wireless adapters no problem. I tried copying the ISP software to BT4 for the mobile connection but it wouldn't run. BT4 is running on a linux OS I think. I didn't install linux though. It wont even show up on the network connections on VMWare. Do I need to get a linux version of the mobile broadband ISP software to be able use the internet via my mobile connection on BT4?

firstly what is BT4?

all I can find is it might be Baltix, which is a version of linux? (and the latest version is 4)

if so it's a ubuntu/gnome based one so find the package manager and do a search for gnome-ppp and install it, you should then be able to set the 3G connection up as a dial up connection using the settings from your ISP.

what's bt4 to you? - if it's the one I know ....

you're trying to crack wep keys - and that's illegal

and more to the point - if you can't figure it out yourself - you need to get a new - less offensive hobby

I dislike script kiddies and "road warriers" - just destructive little sh@ts with no talent

Your on your own then!

Thats either hacking software, or security "testing" software

if your using it for testing then you must be an system admin of some sort so you should be able to figure it out yourself!

LOL,

Well as AC and I have said no your pretty much out of luck on this site, there is probably only 1 or 2 other posters on here that would be able to help with this and doubt they will either!

The basic explanation is I'm just trying to learn about all different aspects of computing. I led a far from perfect life for a few years but I'm trying to make up for lost time now. As I said I just want to learn but I'm out in the middle of nowhere and I don't know where to start. I enjoy challenging myself to solve different problems and just wanted to see what I could do.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
