[Pauldotcom] VMware Player and promiscuous mode?

[Timothy Ouellette]

I am running into problems getting my Ethernet adapter in backtrack to 
run in promiscuous mode.

Currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as the host OS with VM Player 4.02 
installed. I setup Backtrack 5R2 as a Virtual Machine in player and all 
is working great, however i cannot figure out how to get the Ethernet 
adapter in promiscuous mode.

I've edited the Virtual Machines config file (in this case 
"/home/%user%/vmware/backtrack.vmx") to include the following line: 
ethernet0.noPromisc = “FALSE”

I thought this would do the trick but perhaps i am missing something. 
I'm using wireshark for testing purposes and so far from within the 
guest OS all i can see is traffic to and from the guest OS...

any ideas?

Thanks , Tim
