Sadistic Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I hope someone can help me out. I just got my Wifi Pineapple and got it set up using Ethernet connected to PoE/LAN and Wifi sharing the internet, but after a few minutes on the pineapple control panel it drops my connection to the pineapple and to the internet. I am using it with Back Track 5 R3. Any help would be appreciated. Edited October 1, 2012 by Sadistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Have you disabled the network manager in Backtrack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadistic Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 So i disabled the network manager and it seemed to work fine for a few hours but now it is dropping connection again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If it works for a few hours, the only thing I can think of is overheating, maybe using too many modules to eat up memory, your computer blips out or the access point serving your internet may have some issues or high latency. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It could be a few things: 1. BT5r3 is acting up. 2. Ethernet cable is dodgy. 3. Ethernet Jack (laptop / pineapple) is dodgy 4. Combinations of the above So I would test the pineapple out with a different ethernet cable first. Make sure it sits tight. If that still fails, check your BT5 install. Re-install, run from usb / DVD / CD. Does it work now without dropping? If yes, faulty BT5. If even that fails, try a different computer. I know that isn't always easy to get your hands on a different computer but try. If it still doesn't work, report back, I am sure we can get this working.
