Client not connecting; although deauth seems to work

[rslub9]

Newbie here... I'm so anxious to get something working - i even paid to have the nano overnighted, yet's it's been a week already since having to learn. Anyway I've added my android mac address to 'allowed clients' and company's AP to allowed ssid. It looks like when i deauth my phone's wifi connection does get interrupted a bit, however it does not connect to the pineapple.

Is this because there's a password? does this only connect clients who are automatically probing for open networks? If so- - what are people doing these days as open networks are pretty much a thing of past for anyone setting up wifi.. . .

thanks for help.

BTW my setup is Pineapple on a pc / additional wifi USB card (connected to my company's wifi) with shared connection turned on.
