Hello. I bought an Antminer S7 and I am using an EVGA Supernova 1300w PSU with it. For some reason I can power up the miner but the controller board won't allow me to connect to it so I can control it. I tried connecting to the correct IP address and it would refuse my connection (it wouldn't say there isn't a connection). I tried reseting it to get rid of the static IP and now I can't even find the IP. The IP Finder thing on Bitmain doesn't work for me, nor can I find it on IP scans. Is there anything I can do now? :(

I wonder why it was on static ip from the start. Well anyways, you generally go to your router's page and see which IP was attributed to the miner. Also by default the miners is on the 1.X subnet.

Look for a DHCP or a list of device connected page.

Here is the issue, I don't have a router. I am at uni and so they have their own network. What I did before is take my Antminer S4 and register the Mac Address with the uni and they accepted it as a computer and let it run on the network. This hasn't been registered yet, nor can I register it because I can't find the IP address it's on and therefore can't reach the control panel. I have it plugged into a switch which my computer is also plugged into. If it helps, my S4 usually registers a 10.? address not a 192.? address. Would the S7 do that as well?

Not sure if this will help anyone, but when I turn on my miner both the red and green LEDs are on at the same time. I don't know what that means, but I know my S4 didn't have them both on at the same time. There is also a red LED lit on the board. I don't know what that means either.

you are not going to like this but here goes it won't work for you unless you find it address.

so this one won't let you steal from the uni.

All I need to do is get into the configuration file and I can make it work. How can I find it's IP when plugged directly into my computer?

Normally you would need to set up connection sharing.  Just plugging in a miner to computer I doubt set's up connection sharing automatically (unless it comes up with a set-up as you did it).

Have you tried going direct into router?   Normally that is best connection as you don't need a computer on to connect.  Long term a computer is a high priced way to get network connection.

Mayyyybe you could try plugging a router of your own and see if it can work as an access point. I'm not sure if you're going to get your own list of ip device, but maybe it will at least give you a GUI to tell you what the IPs are.

Worth trying if have one handy.

bring it to a friends house that has a router.  make the adjustments there and bring it back to the uni.
