[New Pineapple Owner - Little Help...]

Thanks for the guidance guys. I was using the USB to 5V adapter from the Hak shop to power the Pineapple, for some reason it didn't like that, as soon as I switched to the wall wart I was able to get an address from DHCP.

[New Pineapple Owner - Little Help...]

Hey all, just got my Mark IV in the mail late Friday night and despite my normal tendencies I actually read the accompanying docs. I am having a bit of trouble however.

I can connect over wireless and get an IP, but using http://172.16.42.1 gets me nothing, I found a help topic here in the forum mentioning http://172.16.42.1/pineapple (not in any docs I have) which got me to the interface, however trying port 1471 still gets be nothing. (I did enable Karma from the web page before trying it).

I am also unable to get an IP with the device connected via a Cat5 cable. I confirmed that the PC is set for DHCP, but regardless of which port (LAN\WAN versus LAN\POE) I still get a link light but no IP address.

Do I need to set a static on my machine (like in tethered mode) or should the device be getting an IP from DHCP on the pineapple? I need to upgrade firmware, but it sounds like I need to get this sorted first as firmware update from WLAN isn't recommended.

I did buy the USB-to-5V adapter and have been powering the pineapple that way, not sure if I need the wall wart for DHCP to work, I wouldn't think so, but I'm just throwing that out there...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
