Now you need to edit the /etc/config/dhcp Configuration file. Change the IP address to ones that are appropriate for your setup. Read the comments in there...

config 'dnsmasq'
    option 'domainneeded' '1'
    option 'boguspriv' '1'
    option 'filterwin2k' '0'
    option 'localise_queries' '1'
    option 'local' '/lan/'
    option 'domain' 'lan'
    option 'expandhosts' '1'
    option 'nonegcache' '0'
    option 'authoritative' '1'
    option 'readethers' '1'
    option 'leasefile' '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
    option 'resolvfile' '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
    option 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'start' '100'
    option 'limit' '150'
    option 'leasetime' '720m'
    option 'ignore' '0'
    list 'dhcp_option' '3,10.110.0.1' # This is the IP address of . .
     #.  . The Host Laptop's Net-Interface acting as GW
    list 'dhcp_option' '6,10.110.0.2,8.8.8.8' # This is Option 6 define the DNS server, . .
     # .  . Then IP of Pineapple, Then Googles DNS IP

config 'dhcp' 'wan'
    option 'interface' 'wan'
    option 'ignore' '1'
    option 'start' '100'
    option 'limit' '150'
    option 'leasetime' '720m'

! Don't Reboot Yet !

Now, Navigate to the Webif Admin Web Page of Network/Networks i.e.

http://<IP ADDRESS OF YOUR PINEAPPLE AT THIS TIME>/cgi-bin/webif/network.sh

OK Now, Fill in the input fields with this information. . .Agin change the IP address to ones that make sens for your setup.

Connection Type = Static IP
Type = Bridged
IP Address = 10.110.0.2
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 10.110.0.1

Lan DNS servers = MAKE SURE THERE ARE NONE SET HERE... or make it 8.8.8.8

Now, hit the "Save Changes" Button then Apply Changes at the bottom.

It probably will not reconnect so just let it sit for like 5min's then Power Cycle

----------------

If your losing Internet connection on the Windows Laptop then you need to reset the Default GW on your Laptop. You can do this with the ROUTE command. Like so....

If your real GW is say... 192.168.1.1 then do this...

route delete 0.0.0.0 netmast 0.0.0.0

route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
