educationalpurposes Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Howdy. Just got my pineapple and I don't have my laptop handy, so I want to plug my pineapple into my existing wireless router. Can't I just DMZ the ip of the pineapple and that should work as a internet connection for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 You can plug it into your existing wireless router and it will work just fine.... You don't actually "need" to DMZ the pineapple but I suppose you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
educationalpurposes Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) the pineapple just assigns hosts under my current network 192.168.1.50-250 i take that back. It assigns pineapples ip's. It still wont get internet connection though, Edited July 9, 2013 by educationalpurposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Wait, you're trying to do Internet Connection Sharing? i.e. You want the users that connect to the pineapple's wifi to get access to the internet from your normal wifi router? If that's the case you need to initiate ICS on the Pineapple itself to bridge the eth port to the wifi. The Network Manager infusion is the easiest way to go about doing this.

educationalpurposes Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yup! Thanks, I knew it was possible. I was assuming the problem needed to be configured on my end, not the pineapples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesugarat Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 How did you set it up? i.e. wlan0 to eth1, or eth1 to wlan0, or wlan0 to br-lan etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
