Onus Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) So this morning, I wanted to try a little experiment. I tethered my pinappe to my Nexus 6 which has both an active wifi connection as well as a 3g Data connection. I then add a fake AP to the pool called "FreeKittens" and started broadcasting it. As expected, i was able to connect to "FreeKittens" from my laptop, but there is no internet connection.. Can someone explain to me what i need to do to allow anyone on "FreeKittens" get the internet from my phone? I also tried it the other way around, connecting the pineapple to my laptop which is ocnnected to the internet via wlan0 and broadcasting "freeKittens" then connecting to FreeKittens from my nexus and and it worked fine.. What am i missing? Edited December 28, 2015 by Onus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Are you able to SSH into the Pineapple and get out to the internet? If not then your connection is not being shared from your phone like you thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onus Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 How do I ssh into the pineapple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If you are on Windows I suggest you use PuTTY. If you are on a *nix system you can just open your terminal and use: ssh root@172.16.42.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Putty for windows. Then ssh to 172.16.42.1 from the laptop while connected to freekittens. From there see if you can ping 8.8.8.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onus Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 What is 8.8.8.8? I'm guessing I'm missing something on the phone side. Shows that it is thethered its just not routing the internet requests.. Like I said works the other way, with my laptop connected to the pineapple and my phone connected to freekittens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlebacon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 8.8.8.8 is google DNS servers - He's just suggesting you ping that since it's always up (testing if you have live connection) You probably do not have your iptables configured correctly from the new ethernet device into the bridge. Try using wp6.sh to re-configure your setup and make sure you choose the correct interfaces. If you need to see your interfaces type ifconfig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onus Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't have wp6 on my phone.. Using the pineapple connect app on an android.. Tethered via USB. Is there another way via the android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sud0nick Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Keep in mind you may not be able to tether unless you pay for that service from your provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't have wp6 on my phone.. Using the pineapple connect app on an android.. Tethered via USB. Is there another way via the android app What phone do you use? Who is your provider? Is tethering allowed by your provider? It is possible that you can select the tethering option, but no traffic is routed. Either way, SSH into your WiFi Pineapple using an Android SSH client and see if you can ping 8.8.8.8 or something similar. I assume this is not the case, which would mean your phone is somehow blocking ICS. Best Regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onus Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm on a nexus 6.. I have added WiFi hotspot to my plan and can now tether, before I couldn't even enable USB tethering.. So its tethered just not routing internet traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm on a nexus 6.. I have added WiFi hotspot to my plan and can now tether, before I couldn't even enable USB tethering.. So its tethered just not routing internet traffic. In that case, either use your phone or laptop to SSH into the WiFi Pineapple. If you are using your Android, you will need to use the IP you see in the browser that the Android app will open up. Please provide "ifconfig -a", "route", and "ping -c1 8.8.8.8" outputs.

Darren Kitchen Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I'll also chime in and say that when you tether via Android and pull up the WiFi Pineapple web interface, in the Networking view you should see something similar to this in Route: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.42.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 usb0 172.16.42.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br-lan 192.168.42.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 usb0 192.168.42.129 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 usb0 Notice how usb0 is the default gateway. Another way to test to see if the WiFi Pineapple itself is getting Internet access without having to SSH in is to click the Load Bulletins from WiFi Pineapple.com button on the dashboard. If it fails, you're NANO isn't online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
