DrDinosaur Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hi, I connected my Pineapple to my computer via ethernet. I just factory reseted the Pineapple. I can connect via the web interface to the Pineapple, but I can't get the Pineapple to get internet access. I am sharing the connection from the wireless of my laptop to the Local Area Connection of the Pineapple. Do I need to change something in ICS? I have wlan0 broadcasting an AP named "Wi-Fi", but wlan1 is off. Any reason why my pineapple is not getting internet? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Are you running on a linux/debian based OS? Are you using Windows? Are you using the wp5.sh? Have you run it as root/sudo privileges? Have you disabled the auto-configure on the interface connected to your pineapple?

DrDinosaur Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I am using Windows 7. I have admin privileges. How can I disable auto-configure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The auto-configure is mostly for linux based OS with network manager. In windows, set your LAN interface to 172.16.42.42 with a subnet 255.255.255.0 in the settings and that should work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDinosaur Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yep the settings are all good and I can connect to the Pineapple fine, but it's just not getting internet access like it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Try disabling your firewall and any other such software. The issue is your Windows machine settings I'm sure. Did you follow the manual page 14? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDinosaur Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I actually think it's something with the Pineapple's network settings. I had the internet working just yesterday with no changes to my Windows settings. I was doing some testing with the Pineapple and I had it plugged in via ethernet and it connected to my main Wi-Fi via wlan1 and shared that internet with the AP the Pineapple was broadcasting. I turned off wlan1 so it would just get the internet via the ethernet, but the internet was then lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Did you go into the web interface and disconnect from client mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDinosaur Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think I just turned it off without doing that, which may have messed up the settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDinosaur Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Can someone help here? I have to do a project, so I'm wanting to fix this issue quickly so I can get back to work. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrad Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Try reconfiguring your adapters.....ie turn off ics on your wifi......set the LAN back to auto.....then reboot your pc for the heck of it.....now first set up your ics on wifi...... Then the LAN 171.16.42.42. 255.255.255.0 then 8.8.8.8 for the gateway. I have a laptop running windows 8 I have had to do this twice. Not sure why.....windoze I guess.
