LinesInTheSand Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hello all, Relatively new user to the Wifi Pineapple Mk V, though not completely. I had successfully connected it to my laptop and was up and running when I was using Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8), however I just updated to Mavericks, and now I'm having issues connecting. My configuration is as such: -Wifi connected on my laptop -Pineapple connected to laptop via ethernet port -Ethernet connection set to manual configuration, with IP of 172.16.42.42 , Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and DNS server set to 8.8.8.8 -Service order set such that Wifi comes first, and then ethernet connection -Internet sharing enabled, from Wifi to ethernet connection My pineapple is displaying a solid green light, and a solid blue light with a very occasional blink. Any idea what's going on here/how I can further troubleshoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinesInTheSand Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Ahh, a little more patience & reading reveals to me that Mavericks ICS setup messes with the IP address range needed to connect to the pineapple... what a pain! I can connect once I turn off ICS. I suppose I will have to use the pineapple in client mode then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrad Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I think some people are using a Linux or Windows in VMware fusion to be able to still ics on Mavericks, not sure but I think I saw it somewhere here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobH Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I use mavericks to connect, and the only thing I had to do was to make sure my laptops primary internet interface (wifi) was at the top of the list of network connections in the networking system preference, I used a thunderbolt=>ethernet to connect to the pineapple as the second on the list and no issues.

Would you mind providing a screenshot or some step by step instructions? (sorry, no macs here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
