Foxtrot Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 "wireless" is not re-enabling. please can somebody help me fix it without restoring to factory defaults as i have already installed all modules so i don't want to do it over again. i think this started to occur once i selected "remove config", inside "networking tab". I am presuming you mean the Network Manager module... If so, just click in the right hand side where it says "Detect Automatically" or something like that... Provide more details. -Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--nick-- Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) yes i mean the network manager tab inside of the mark 4 pineapple. detect automatically button did nothing new, that button is for when you plug in an alfa network card but i am not trying to use an external network card at the moment. My problem is in the "Network manager" logical interface will no longer enable and also if i go to the "status" tab the wireless button will no longer enable, both related and im 100% sure on that.

--nick-- Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 i have a small problem now that i just noticed on the pineapple mk4. i can't get the internet to passthrough from my pc to the pineapple anymore. i have used ics on my windows pc and changed the ip to 172.16.42.42 like how i used to get the internet to work, except now it does not work. \ can somebody please tell me why the ics does not work on my windows 7 anymore? or maybe what i can additionally try is to configure the ics setting inside of the pineapple mk4 gui itself? if so , change to what? brlan to wlan0?

Mr-Protocol Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Do not modify the configuration of the pineapple networking to fix your ICS issue. That is not the problem. The problem exists in either your cabling or your Windows configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--nick-- Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) well, the new modules show up in the gui for download, so there is internet up to the mk4 ui standpoint. However, when i connect a second laptop to my pineapple mk4 access point that was made with windows ics and try google in the browser there is no google connection displayed. alternatively when i use windows bridging instead of ics it works. this is strange because i never had a problem with ics before. windows ics is how i was always doing this setup before.

Mr-Protocol Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Are you plugging into the PoE port on the pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--nick-- Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Are you plugging into the PoE port on the pineapple? yes, in the poe/lan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 yes, in the poe/lan. Try booting a live CD of Kali/backtrack/ubuntu and running the wp4.sh and make sure the network manager has "Automatically configure" turned off for your devices. See if it works that way.

--nick-- Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 i does work other ways just not this way. the windows ics way. also in windows 7 i have successfully selected to bridge the connections using windows bridging. i really want this windows7 ics way resolved . tried this link http://forums.techguy.org/networking/406968-solved-windows-cannot-start-windows.html but all looks normal compared to mine.

kpoeticg Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Did you forget to fix the ICS settings in Network Manager after you fixed your config files? The problem could possibly be caused by 'Enable at Boot' being checked and 'none' in both of the drop downs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--nick-- Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) i got it. i think i needed to unplug/replug the power cable instead for just only clicking reboot after doing Foxtrots instructions. all is working now.
