Hi,
Thanks for the replies guys, and big thanks to midnitesnake for the PM's and the assistance.
I've never actually got it running past the initial setup and password setup. It got as far as the licence agreement and then said it has to reload. 15 mins later, i tried to connect to it but no joy. No IP address released via ethernet. No SSID broadcast.
Setting manual IP as per the flashing instructions, cannot get any response from the pineapple.
Connected pineapple to switchport, and port is down down so no L1 or L2 signalling received.
I've tried setting dip switches and no matter what, I still get no response from it.
The only thing i'm sure of is that something happened after the first reload, and before the next boot.
The only option i have left is to use a usb -> rs232 serial connection, but even with that I'm not confident of the outcome. plus would take me a few days to get hold of one of these.
I've actually been using a mark iv for a while and had none of these issues.
Any support would be greatly appreciated, as like showy4you, its just an expensive paperweight at the moment, and I dont want my next project to be modding the battery to work with the raspberry pi
