I have pressed the reset button for approx 10 seconds rebooted the pineapple, waited until the wps button stops flashing after reboot. Then plugged into PoE/Lan port with laptop and assigned myself ip 172.16.42.42, (if I wait for dhcp as was working initially I never get an address assigned), and attempted to ping and ssh with no luck. Below is the output on console relevant to connecting that I am aware of, I also have cleared my iptables just to be sure I wasn't blocking anything.
