Hi guys, I recently provided a post about a CGI error that I was receiving but I think I discovered the cause. Unfortunately, it leads me to a much larger error. My MarkIV pineapple cannot connect to the internet despite the setup up being just like the one described in the Windows OS tethering wiki. The victims computer cannot connect to the internet either. They cannot ping the wifi pineapple despite being connected to the wireless network "Pineapple0e:93" and they cannot ping out to the internet. I'm stumped as to what the cause is. I think it is a networking issue but I don't know where to begin.
What is the cause to the disconnection and how can I fix it?
I apologize if this is a really newbie question but if you could help me out it would be fantastic. :)
