Hello Hak5 community,
Allow me to start off by letting any moderators know that I researched this issue, including the forum, but did not find the answer.
I registered the account on here actually mainly for this issue...
I have a Macbook Retina model (no Ethernet port), and ordered a usb ethernet adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Gigabit-Ethernet-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B003VSTDFG/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1387873226&sr=8-12&keywords=wifi+ethernet)
I was having issues with that adapter showing up under the sharing options of the Mac, so I ordered an official Mac USB adapter (I am very tight on budget, but was desperate).
My current issue...
I tried all the steps connecting it to Mac OSX by going off the main pineapple tutorial on youtube.
I did the all whole 9 yards,
set service order, configured ip, subnet mask, dns server
I cannot connect to the wifi homepage through USB-ethernet connection (I can if I connect through Wifi)
I couldn't find the IP that the web browser was trying to access cause I heard people saying use a different IP and I reset the computer and the router various times.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you to all the 1337 h4x0rs out there!
