Can't access Bulletins via wlan0 but works fine on eth0

TL;DR WifiPineapple Nano works 100% if I use my Ethernet cable, but will not connect to the internet using the Wifi adapter on my Laptop.

Herewith the steps I have taken:

ON WIFI

  • Using HP 9740 Laptop, LAN cable disconnected, eth0 down, on-board Wifi connected to my home AP
  • WifiPineapple Nano disconnected
  • Boot Kali Linux 2016.2
  • Run wp6.sh, select [G]
  • Default gateway identified as 192.168.1.1, select [Y]
  • Internet interface reported as wlan0, select [Y]
  • Detected WifiPineapple on interface eth1, select [Y}
  • Once the light is solid blue, select [C]
  • Detecting WifiPineapple......found.
  • Browse to http://172.16.42.1:1471
  • Log into the WifiPineapple successfully
  • Can browse to google.com, and the rest of the internet
  • Load bulletins and Get Modules doesn't work (as per many other reports in this forum)

Results of route -n:
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0
172.16.42.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     600    0        0 wlan0

 

ON LAN

  • LAN cable plugged in, wlan0 down, (same network as Wifi)
  • Exactly the same steps as above, except I am offered eth0 as the default gateway
  • EVERYTHING WORKS 100%, including loading bulletins and Get Modules

Results of route -n:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
172.16.42.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     100    0        0 eth0

 

I have attached a full comparison of ifconfig and route -n step by step throughout the process in the hope that someone can shed some light on why it works perfectly with a LAN cable plugged in, but on Wifi I can not get to the Internet from the Nano.

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 from both the Kali Linux box and from the WifiPineapple (after ssh'ing to 172.16.42.1)

Both the Ethernet and WIFI configurations result in the same /etc/resolv.conf files:

 

They start as:

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
 

And then change to the text below when I run [C] in WP6.sh

# Generated by NetworkManager
search lan
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 172.16.42.1

 

I changed the /etc/resolv.conf file on the WifiPineapple to:

search lan

nameserver 192.168.1.1

 

And it resolves names, Load Bulletins works, etc. However this is obviously a temporary solution since resolv.conf is overwritten every time the device restarts, or NetworkManager restarts.

I tried a few suggestions that I found on the forum like changing /etc/config/network, but no joy.

 

Thank you very much for the pointer to DNS being the issue. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I'm not sure what the problem might be.:wacko:
What happens if you change /etc/resolv.conf to look like this?

search lan
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Also try setting nameserver to: 8.8.8.8 and report back :)

Unfortunately neither 127.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 in resolv.com work. 

It only works with 192.168.1.1

 

I was wondering if the "metric" of the connection had anything to do with it. I.e. the Pineapple Nano's connection (eth1) has a lower metric than the Wifi adapter (wlan0) which may route traffic to the interface with the lower metric?
