reflex Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi there, wonder if anyone can help me. I just got my pineapple mk3 through the post and am trying to set it up, problem is..i cant connect to it. Ive tried two computers with wicd and network manager both refuse to connect. If i set the IP manually it does say its connected but cant ping the router. Any ideas? Also im using batteries to power it as i dont have a us to uk adapter yet. Could it possibly be a low power problem. I wouldnt think so as the batteries are new and it is powering up. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run it backwards Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Don't use wicd, use terminal For example: ifconfig eth0 172.16.42.42. If you haven't changed any settings, use the ip above. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curua2008 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's exactly the same problem i have. I received the Pineapple yesterday but couldn't connect to it either via wired or wireless connection ( don't see the Pineapple SSID). I'm wondering what could be done now? Can i return the defect pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostshell Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 even though i as used to GUI's i have been hooked on terminal for a while now and prefer it, i would try through terminal as well, once you can ping it open your browser and go to 172.16.42.1/pineapple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0xFFFF Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Have you tried wp3.sh yet? If not try it first. Open up a terminal and throw this at it: wget wifipineapple.com/wp3.sh; chmod +x wp3.sh; ./wp3.sh; firefox http://172.16.42.1/pineapple & This should've been on the instructions supplied with the pineapple.

reflex Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi guys, big thanks for taking the time to answer. The problem was the battery pack not being powerfull enough even though they were new batteries. When I connect it the LAN led wasnt lighting up as bright as the power led and wont connect at all. When i connect it with the adapter both lights are bright and connects no problem. Must be because the Alfa ap51 is 12V unlike the fon thats on 5V. Thanks anyway. Just now only seems to be wii's and blackberrys connecting. Also do ferret and hamster even work anymore? Im capturing dumps with wireshark and loading them with ferret and hamster but i dont seem to be able to login to any sesions? chers. reflex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
