Khundawg Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I am trying to connect to my Pineapple MKIV from my Mackbook air (current model as of 4/13) and not having much luck. I hope someone on the forums might be able to help or at least offer some suggestions. First off, I am running off the thunderbolt ethernet adaptor. I have gone through the video here: I have all the settings as indicated. When I try to access the pineapple via the web interface I get a timeout and when pinging I get no returned packets. Now then, the thunderbolt adapter is showing a connection in the system preferences but thats about as far as I can get. I have verified that the pineapple is woking and I have logged in via another PC. Any suggestions? Edited April 30, 2013 by Khundawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactoad Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I guess you´re running Mountain Lion? The internet connection sharing is very flaky. I have the same issues both on my MBA and MP. I can verify that the client machine gets a DHCP address and it´s present in the ARP table. However I cant reach it by IP. The only solution so far has been to have both devices connected and reboot the mac. After the reboot the mac can ping the client and now the mac can be used as gateway.

Sebkinne Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I just wanted to chime in and say that ICS is flakey or at least behaves odd at times on OSX. This is not in relation to the pineapple but rather for ICS in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Try letting the pineapple give the adapter a dhcp address first. Just to make sure it's actually working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think we should tackle this. Enough of us pineapple owners are also osx-friendly now, that we need a comprehensive solution. Thankfully, OSX is based off of unix, so I'm thinking a little cli-fu is in order. A quick google found this: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20050331194834746 I'm about to hop on a plane, so I was only able to give it a quick glance, but it appears as though this script can be modified to address our needs. Thoughts? telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't know why everyone says OSX internet connection sharing is flakey... I have a Macbook Air from last year running Mountain Lion and it works perfectly well for me. It worked fine on my Macbook Pro before that. And it works fine on my Mac Pro. I can't see your video right now as I am at work but I'll look at it tonight. Have you looked at this post? http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/27808-mac-ics-works/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactoad Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It´s not a Pineapple specific problem. I get the same behaviour with my HTPC. Had no problem in Lion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
