So I just got my Pineapple today and followed the official instructions to the letter.
Everything went smooth till I was trying to share my internet connection with the pineapple.
SETUP: My Computer (Windows 8.1) is connected to the internet through a wireless connection Pineapple is connected with an ethernet cable
When trying to set the static x.x.42.42 IP for my Ethernet interface, I can no longer ping nor access the Pineapple web UI
However, when I choose the "bridge connection" option (right clicking on a network adapter) and Windows does it thing, I can access the Web UI BUT it kills my internet connection.
Lastly, client mode works fine, the "Show IP" feature under "Network" returns the IP, however I am unable to check for updates, but I believe this to be a separate issue.
How do I proceed from here?
