warrior178 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Hello Hak5 community, Allow me to start off by letting any moderators know that I researched this issue, including the forum, but did not find the answer. I registered the account on here actually mainly for this issue... I have a Macbook Retina model (no Ethernet port), and ordered a usb ethernet adapter (http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Gigabit-Ethernet-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B003VSTDFG/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1387873226&sr=8-12&keywords=wifi+ethernet) I was having issues with that adapter showing up under the sharing options of the Mac, so I ordered an official Mac USB adapter (I am very tight on budget, but was desperate). My current issue... I tried all the steps connecting it to Mac OSX by going off the main pineapple tutorial on youtube. I did the all whole 9 yards, set service order, configured ip, subnet mask, dns server I cannot connect to the wifi homepage through USB-ethernet connection (I can if I connect through Wifi) I couldn't find the IP that the web browser was trying to access cause I heard people saying use a different IP and I reset the computer and the router various times. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you to all the 1337 h4x0rs out there! Edited December 24, 2013 by warrior178 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw3demo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hey! It's a friendly community here, questions/problems are always welcome. :) I have a Mac and will try to help as best as I can. I have not connected over ethernet before however. 1. USB -> Ethernet adapter you purchased, is recognised by OSX? For example, when you plug a cable into the back of your home router, and into that adapter connected to your Mac, do you get an ip? If yes, great, the adapater isn't the problem. 2. Connect your ethernet cable to the pineapple and adapter, and turn it on. Open up Safari and try to browse to 172.16.42.1:1471 . No login page? Go to network preferences, what does it say? Is it showing the ethernet as connected, or any status message/ip? (Better still, open up Terminal, and type 'ifconfig' with no quotes. Paste the output here with the code tool.) 3.Chriswhat posted a step by step a little while back. Give it a go, and again do an ifconfig via Terminal and post the output here with the code tool. Originally posted by Chriswhat If you're just trying to connect to your Pineapple's web UI from your Mac via ethernet cable, complete the following steps: 1) Open your System Preferences 2) Select "Network" 3) In the left pane of your Network settings, select "Ethernet" 4) Make the following configurations: Configure IPv4: "Manually" IP Address: "172.16.42.42" Subnet Mask: "255.255.255.0" Router: <leave this blank> 5) Select the "Advanced" button 6) Select the "DNS" tab 7) Select the "+" button 8) For the DNS Server, enter "8.8.8.8" and then select the "OK" button 10) Select the "Apply" button and close your System Preferences Now, connect your Pineapple to your Mac via the ethernet cable and navigate to "http://172.16.42.1:1471" You should have access to your Pineapple's web UI.

robotirl Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 No problems here on a mid-2012 MBP. It may be an issue with your USB ethernet adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior178 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thank you so much MWDemo. I really appreciate the help. Setting this up is a bit frustrating, and you're making my experience a whole lot more pleasant So I managed to login to Wifi Pineapple homepage while having internet connection through Wifi. However, the homepage did not seem to have access to the internet. The sharing connection was on, but nothing seems to happen. Grrr...

thesugarat Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Warrior178, I have to ask the question.... Why are you trying to set it up this way? Not that it doesn't work... It does. But it is no longer the default setup for Internet Connection Sharing for the Pineapple because the Mark5 has two radios built in, one specifically for Client mode. Just want to know what is driving you towards this particular hard wired method of ICS when a much easier version is now used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior178 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thesugarat, I appreciate you asking the question; I did not even know that pineapple wifi could connect as a client while broadcasting its signal for others to connect (excuse the noob terminology). My next question, could you kindly point me to a tutorial how I do that? I did not manage to find anything. Thanks again for everyones help!

thesugarat Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) This forum has a new section called WiFi Pineapple University... http://uni.wifipineapple.com It's relatively new, and they are still working on it, but the one you want is "Connect to a Nearby AP in Client Mode". The link below is straight to it on Youtube, but you should really check out the other videos as well.
