Mark Iv Home Network Setup Help

[E1337Recon]

Hello,

I've seen in other posts people are able to connect their Pineapple MKIV to their home network instead of having it tethered to a laptop or a 3G dongle because I simply cannot get the tethering to work on my laptop. My only problem is I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this. Here is what I currently have to work with:

• Wifi Pineapple MKIV
  
• Laptop with Atheros chipset (not sure which)
  
• Netgear WNDR3400 running DD-WRT
  
• Home Network is 192.168.1.0/24
  
• Pineapple Network is 172.16.42.0/24
  
• KARMA SSID set to NETGEAR (So I pickup NETGEAR and pineapple from my laptop)
  
• Firmware version 1.1.1
  

This is what I tried putting into the terminal from wp4.sh but I'm not sure if I have it configured correctly:

Input Pineapple Netmask [or ENTER for 255.255.255.0]:

Input Pineapple Network [or ENTER for 172.16.42.0/24]:

Input Interface between PC and Pineapple [or ENTER for eth0]: eth1

Now connecting to http://172.16.42.1/pineapple -- Happy Hacking!

I currently have the Pineapple plugged into the router into LAN3 on my router via the WAN/LAN port(eth1 I think it is). This is how it looks on the back of the router(Yay ASCII art):

[WAN] [LAN1][LAN2][LAN3][LAN4]

I'm not sure whether or not to use the PoE/LAN or the WAN/LAN on the Pineapple to connect to the router or if the other should be plugged into anything at all. If anyone has anything helpful that would be great and until then I'm going to be messing around trying to make this work. Thank you in advance for your help.

please start reading the short pamplet that came with the device.as always use the PoE/Lan to connect PC to your pineapple. :) any other info can be looked up at wifipineapple.com

well what you need to do is connect the POE from the pineapple to any Lan port of the router. But your main problem is the IP setup you are having. this will not work.

You could put your home router on IP 172.16.42.42 or you will need to adjust the pineapple to the IP of your home network.

after that you should be good to go

Thanks for the help guys, I finally managed to get the tethering to work. My problem was I misconfigured the Internet Gateway to the default instead of 192.168.1.1 (my router) but after I did that it worked like a charm. This is an amazing tool and I can't wait to fool with it some more.
