Routing Issue

[xathor]

I have a Pineapple Mark IV, connected to it via USB is an Alfa wifi adapter.

I have taken the Alfa card (wlan1) and connected it to my home wifi router that has an address of 192.168.1.1. I have given wlan1 the ip of 192.168.1.173 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet.

On the Pineapple, I connect via Wifi to it. It's ip is 172.16.42.1.

Now if I do a ping 192.168.1.1 on the pineapple I get nothing.

By default the 'route' looks like so:

Destination    Gateway             Genmask            Flags      Metric        Ref      Use     Iface
default        172.16.42.42         0.0.0.0            UG         0            0         0       br-lan
172.16.42.0    *                    255.255.255.0      U          0            0         0       br-lan
192.168.1.0    *                    255.255.255.0      U          0            0         0       wlan1

So I do a 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1' and 'route del default gw 172.16.42.42' ... which leaves me with:

Destination    Gateway             Genmask            Flags     Metric     Ref     Use     Iface
default        192.168.1.1         0.0.0.0            UG         0             0        0        wlan1
172.16.42.0    *                   255.255.255.0      U           0            0        0        br-lan
192.168.1.0    *                   255.255.255.0      U           0            0        0        wlan1

Now I can ping out to external IP's by both IP and name on the pineapple.

Now, on a client connected to the pineapple. I can reach the web interface but I can't ping the distant router 192.168.1.1.

I can, oddly, do a tracert on the client and DNS resolves a hostname.

If I do on the client (a computer connected to the pineapple via wifi) 'tracert google.com' I get

Tracing route to google.com [74.125.137.100]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1        3 ms      1 ms       1 ms      Pineapple.lan [172.16.42.1]
2         *            *            *  // Ctrl-C here

I've tried playing with route but I am not that knowledgeable on it. Any help?

need to issue the proper iptable commands.

I would link you to the wiki but it is down at the moment.
