[Mark IV connection sharing issues on OS X]

Serg,

There are several posts on this and a wiki entry. Search the forums for "Mac ICS works". And Foxtrot is half right. Using a Mac with the Pineapple works but it's not easy. I use VMware Fusion for Mac for the times I need Linux.

Just wondering if you had a specific page in mind?

Thanks guys

Yeah, seems like Linux is the way to go. I just had a Mac sitting here, so I thought, well, let's give this a go.

[Mark IV connection sharing issues on OS X]

Hi All

I got issues configuring MK4 on OS X. I am on 10.8.5.

General steps that I go through are:

1. On laptop: Setup static IP 172.16.42.42 on Ethernet
2. On laptop: Wifi - already configured, home access point

At this stage I can access Pineapple... However the moment I enable OS X Internet sharing (ICS) from WiFi to Ethernet, pineapple is no longer accessible.

This is the tutorial that is pretty much what I've done:

...though it's not working after the ICS is enabled.

Tried rebooting the laptop, reset Pineapple to factory default, disable all firewalls, etc. No luck. I haven't looked at default OS X routing just yet, but thought most likely I am not the only one...

So wondering if anyone here had the same issue and how you've solved it. Any tips would be awesome.

Thanks

Serg
