Kapu Lanai Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I wanted to get my pineapple to use my laptops Internet connection and followed the instructions. It was tricky to get working but I set the default 172.16.42.42, 255.255.255.0 as subnet and 8.8.8.8 for dns. It worked. For 10 minutes. Then by some miraculous calamity, stopped passing the Internet to my pineapple in the middle of downloading occupineapple. To this moment my pineapple still won't get Internet from my laptop even with the settings that worked for 10 minutes. Mind you I changed nothing. Anyone else have this problem?

Mr-Protocol Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 What OS are you using? Make sure your OS network manager isn't fighting with the Nano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Kapu, Are you still able to access the WiFi Pineapple via the y-cable? If so, it's not the cable but something on the host computer (or, while unlikely, on the pineapple). Best regards, Sebkinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapu Lanai Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm using windows 10, not the greatest best of the best hardware. It's best run as a thin laptop. So yeah I can get to the device through 172.16.42.1:1471 Must be my host. But why?....still a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChimichangasRgewd Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 start @ 1:20 you post that you pinned 172.16.42.42/24.... and thats right then you mentioned using google for your DNS (something that was not mentioned in the instructions) still.... start that vid @ 1:20 and follow along I'm sorry if this makes you mad that I posted this.... but my heart is telling me that no one has helped you because you mentioned that you had followed all of the instructions Windows 10 is a pain in the ass.... I got a bit confused when I set it up.... Want my best advice? grab Linux, shrink your partition in Windows - then set up dual booting in Linux, you just have to type ./wp6.sh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapu Lanai Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 8.8.8.8 doesn't matter. All that matters is its legit. And following instructions is for girly mans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
