Having issues with the initial setup

[exploit127]

So I follow the instructions per the Pineapple PDF hooking up the retractable eth cord into the laptop which is using wlan0 interface from the internal card of the laptop for providing internet access and make the correct changes to the windows 7 adapter settings putting the wired LAN adapter to a static IP of 172.16.42.42 with the sub of 255.255.255.0 and go and tick the box of the internet facing adapter ( laptops internal card ) to share the internet connection and browse using firefox to the address 172.16.42.1:1471 and i'm able to access the web based interface. However i don't get any internet access this route. I went in to win7 and checked the internet facing adapters staus (laptops internal card) and show no connection for ipv4. What am i doing wrong?.....lololol...Any help would be greatly appreciated...: P ....as I am trying out kali linux too and my mind is getting mushy.... .....

P.S. I can't access the pineapple bar which was my first clue as to no available internet connection...

Everything is fresh install...no changes have been made to the pineapple.

Ok so now i go back to the wired lan adapter where the pineapple's adapter is set in win7 and notice that ipv4 connectivity shows : internet......... however trying to nav to the pineapple bar shows loading please wait and never brings up the pineapple bar!!! btw i allowed the subnet to automatically assign 255.255.0.0.......instead of the suggested 255.255.255.0....

255.255.255.0....nor 255.255.0.0...work!!

Also wanted to mention that when i connect to the pineapple with my smartphone and try to browse the internet it never loads....so basically.... rather than connecting to the wireless ap that the pineapple is connected to (via laptop)...i try to connect my smartphone to the actual pineapples wireless broadcast and am not able to visit google for instance..

Most people have to disable the network manager when using kali linux. There are a few posts that discuss a solution.

Thanks for the reply Deathdealerxx....i'll do this when i wake up.. lol...first i'll check to see if the GUI will allow me to disable auto and if it doesn't stick i'll edit the config file...should be able to erase the the "auto" text within the config and get it to stick??

I'll be sure to post back and marked my post as resolved after confirmation...thanks again...i came across this video earlier but i wasnt using kali when i was troubleshooting windows with pineapple....funny thing to...i' ve had the pineapple for a while now but haven't broke it out to play with it until now..lol.i've too busy with Kali....and anyway..ettercap GUI within kali started crashing on me after i selected wlan1(my awus038nha)...prior to selecting unified sniffing...and i checked it for shits and giggles for i shutdown and it worked...very strange..but i like it..lololol..
