[New Pineapple Not Pinging]

what about trying a different cable altogether?

here is what I would do first to rule out the setup and wp4.sh script, when you plug into the POE port and set your computers ethernet port to auto dhcp.

if all is good you should get an ip like 172.16.42.XXX, then brows to 172.16.42.1/pineapple/

Well I feel like a dumbass... I plugged it into the POE port and it worked perfectly. I guess I could always switch careers... Thanks for everyone's help

Try to set your IP on eth0 manually (not running the script) and see if you can ping it then. Also make sure the pineapple has had power for a few minutes to make sure it was fully booted. You can also try using a cross-over network cable, if you have one, in place of the straight through cable which comes from the hakshop purchased ones.

Also, what lights are on after it has been powered for a few minutes? What ethernet port are you connecting to? The PoE port is the one to be used (one closest to the power plug for AC/DC adapter).

Hmmm... I thought maybe the straight through patch cord might be a problem - I don't have a xover handy, I'll have to grab one from work tommorrow. Manually setting the ip address didn't help. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, and the only lights on are wlan, wan, pwr, and "wps".

Just got a brand new wifipineapple IV this morning, but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

I'm running Arch, connected to my wifi through wpa_supplicant. Here is the output of wp4.sh. Eth0 is connected directly to the pineapple with the patch cord provided

here is the output of ifconfig after I run this:

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a bad unit?
