Failing To Tether With Win7

[xorred]

My LAN adapter is at 172.16.42.42, mask 255.255.255.0, no gw, 8.8.8.8 DNS

I'm using my WiFi adapter to share (ICS) - setting my LAN to be the adapter leeching internet from the wifi adapter.

But... when I'm in the pineapple web intefrace, the device can't connect to anywhere outside the local lan.

Issue "/etc/init.d/firewall disable; /etc/init.d/firewall stop;" from the Execute Commands text area a the bottom of the advanced page You can also add the command to rc.local to run the command at bootup.

That did not help. I'm in the Modules menu, trying to get a list of the available modules, and...

Warning:  file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /www/pineapple/modules.php on line 92

I had to plug a wan cable in the wan port to obtain an internet connection...

xorred, where is the wan cable going to from the WAN port?? router? im getting confusing posts saying LAN / POE port needs to be set as 172.16.42.42 are u sayin the WAN port needs to be plugged in instead and set to 172.16.42.42

Setup ICS on the host machine and run these commands on the advanced page of the Pineapple. Make sure the cable from the ICS host is plugged into the PoE port.

/etc/init.d/firewall disable

/etc/init.d/firewall stop

You will have internet on the Pineapple after setting this up properly.

ICS was set up. LAN port was 42.42, the commands you suggested were suggested by others before you and that did not help.

In order to obtain internet connection I had to plug my Router's LAN port to the WAN port of the pineapple - so it would get dhcp ip from my router and have internet.

I had the same issue it was a firewall issue. since my wlan on my pc is setup to home network and my Ethernet is a public network i disabled the firewall on public networks but kept it on for home/work networks. I would like to see if I can just disable the firewall on the Ethernet port and no matter what network I connect to with my laptop the wlan is always fire walled.
