Vulture Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 From command line run echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward That should correct your Internet sharing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had it on me to give it a try, but I'll be back to it in 8 - 12 hours. What's going on there? I thought echo just printed (showed) anything you type after it?

Vulture Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You are correct in the statement that echo will just state whatever you type after it, however you are then using the > character to force the echo statement into the file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Linux reviews the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward file to determine if forwarding of the internet interface should be allowed. When set to 1 then you will not only receive internet on the pineapple but also on any clients. When set to 0 then only the pineapple will have internet, no clients will.
