Sharing EVDO with Jasager.
This question comes from Josh Price. Josh asks:
What all are you using when you share your tether your blackberry to your PC and share it through the Jasager?
I tether using the application provided by Verizon. I could do it with Windows Dial Up Networking but the VZW app gives me signal strength. If you’re on Linux I recommend checking out Berry4All
I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing to share out the tethered EVDO connection. I directly connect to the pineapple via ethernet. My ethernet is bound to a static IP — doesn’t matter what rang. I use 10.10.42.x but you could use whatever.
I then fire up tftpd and use it’s nifty little DHCP server to start handing out addresses to the access point. The trick is to bind the dhcpd to your ethernet’s static IP, give it a DNS server (I use opendns but 4.2.2.2 would work as well) and throw in a range of like 10.10.42.100-10.10.42.200 or so. Make sure your ethernet IP is specified as the default gateway — that’s what makes it all work with windows ICS.
Next boot up your Pineapple. Mine always gets the same IP from the DHCP server but the first time you’ll need to scan to find it. nmap, cain & abel, whatever. Once you find your Pineapple, hit up it’s Jasager interface at http://ipaddress:1472. Login and enable Karma.
Grab yourself an oz of light rum, 2 oz pineapple juice, a dash of lemon juice and a tbsp of simple syrup and garnish with a pineapple wedge because you’re now everyone bestest wifi friend around.
If you’ve got an IPTABLES or other good way to do this in Linux please let me know. Thanks!
