RichyB Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Hi guys, im sure your all very sick of seeing this topic popup from us "newbies" but iv trawled through multiple posts and still haven't managed to get things up and running here is how i have things setup: CAT5 cable from laptop into pineapple's POE/LAN port Set static IPV4 info as below IP: 172.16.42.42 Sub: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: Blanks DNS: 8.8.8.8 My laptop is connected to my home WIFI My wireless card is set to share its connection with LAN card. my wireless network is on the range of: 192.168.1.1 - Router 192.168.1.3 - Laptop 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Iv tried turning the firewall off in /etc/init.d/firewall but i think its been removed in version 1.1.1 so thats no good. also tried : echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Still no luck. I connect to the pineapple's ssid pick up a 172.16.42.* address but when browsing no luck. Hope this is everything it would be good to get a solution sorted in one thread rather than a couple :o) Edited April 25, 2012 by RichyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatskeBart Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Enable ICS on your wifi adapter first and then manually set your IP to 172.16.42.42 on your wired ethernet adapter. Windows 7 for example will change the ip to a static class C ip when you enable ICS. This could be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think its anything to do with the fact my WIFI address is a 192.168.1.* address range and the pineapple runs through 172.168.16.* address? Should they maybe on the same range?

WatskeBart Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Nope :) Even the guide on wifipineapple.com tells you to do the exact same thing. I've tested it and it does work. I connected to my wireless network with ip adres 192.168.1.10 Then enable ICS on my wireless adapter and click OK on the warning that a static ip will be set by windows. I manually set a static ip 172.16.42.42 and 8.8.8.8 dns ip on my wired adapter. Plugged in a cable from my laptop to the pineapple PoE/LAN port and voila internet on my pineapple and my clients.

RichyB Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Done everything you have said but just cant seem to get it to work..
