Wifi Pineapple Mark IV: No Internet connection

KillerKlown · January 18, 2013

Hi, folks!

I have a problem with my new (and first) Pineapple Mark IV:

I've just configured the net settings on my Macbook Pro. Wifi on top, ethernet on bottom and enabled internet sharing from wifi to ethernet.

I can see the Pineapple, I can connect to the web GUI and SSH into it. It can search for probes, but maybe it is doing only in wlan, cause when I ping Google from the Pineapple (in the ssh session or in the web GUI), it can't ping it.

So... what is wrong with my configuration? Do I have to modify something also in the Pineapple? Why it doesn't get the Internet access from my Mac?

Thank you in advance! :D

Check the IP address of your laptops ethernet port. If it's not 172.16.42.42, then you'll need to either force that IP address, or update the routing table in your Pineapple.

Check the IP address of your laptops ethernet port. If it's not 172.16.42.42, then you'll need to either force that IP address, or update the routing table in your Pineapple.

This is my Pineapple's routing table:Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Ifacedefault         172.16.42.42    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 br-lan172.16.42.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-lan

And in my Mac's settings I've set (on ethernet):

IP Address: 172.16.42.42

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Router: 172.16.42.1

DNS: 8.8.8.8

and still doesn't work... also after a reboot.

In the setup instructions for the Windows ICS, it says to leave the default gateway blank for the Ethernet connected to the Pineapple.

Give that a try?

Try doing a traceroute on your Pineapple and see where the buck stops. If it gets to your ethernet interface on the Mac and stops, then you know your issue is on the bridge.

KillerKlown · January 18, 2013

I've deleted the DNS entry and tried the traceroute on the web GUI and in the ssh session:

Web GUI response:

blank page with this message: "The CGI process did not produce any response"

SSH session:

root@Pineapple:~# traceroute 173.194.44.16

traceroute to 173.194.44.16 (173.194.44.16), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

Read the wiki (link in signature), hopefully don't break your pineapple while doing it. Not sure of your skill level.

KillerKlown · January 18, 2013

I've followed this guide http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guidemacics but nothing changed... now my Mac's IP on the ethernet is 192.168.2.1 and the Pineapple is reachable at http://192.168.2.254:1471/ but still can't ping or traceroute and the web GUI gives me the same errore when I try to run traceroute. :unsure:

173.194.44.16 <--- What IP address is this? Is this your wlan IP address on your mac?

KillerKlown · January 18, 2013

No, it's the Google's ip address

ShadowBlade72 · January 18, 2013

I'm not sure how to help you from here. It doesn't even look like you're getting outside of the Pineapple.

If you try and ping your Macs ethernet and wlan port, what does it kick back?

KillerKlown · January 18, 2013

Ok, so...

This is how the lan is configured (between Pineapple and Mac via ethernet)

config interface lan                option ifname   eth0                option type      bridge                option proto    static                option ipaddr   192.168.2.254                option netmask  255.255.255.0                option gateway  192.168.2.1                option dns        8.8.8.8

And this is how dhcp on lan is configured

config 'dhcp' 'lan'                option 'interface' 'lan'                option 'start' '100'                option 'limit' '150'                option 'leasetime' '12h'                option 'ignore' '0'                list 'dhcp_option' '3,192.168.2.1'                list 'dhcp_option' '6,192.168.2.254,8.8.8.8'

Oh, and...

that's my routing table on Pineapple:

I would suggest this. Boot from a BT5 USB/DVD and get on your wireless network. Download the wp4.sh

wget wifipineapple.com/wp4.sh

Hook up the pineapple, run the script, see if it works.

Yes, from Linux (Ubuntu) everything works fine. :wacko:

Then it's a Mac problem lol. Sorry, I'm not a Mac user to be able to assist. Just wanted to verify known working hardware.

barry99705 · January 19, 2013

I guess I need to pick up a usb ethernet adapter... The only working mac in the house at the moment is my wife's macbook air. I'll grab one this weekend and figure it out.

That port change has been mentioned a lot. Change logs on the wifipineapple.com, numerous times in the forums, and the wiki quick start guide.
