Title: Can connect to Antminer S7, but Can't connect to the pool and No Static IP!?
Post by: MikeThePagan on September 18, 2016, 12:11:12 AM
I could really use some help here ???

I just bought my first Antminer S7, connected the PSU's, found the IP for the miner easy enough,logged in,filled in the pool URL and Worker name just fine but the miner will not connect to Slush Pool. While my first S7 I've had a number of S3's and a S4 and I've never had this amount of trouble connecting a miner before. I've seen others have had the same problem but no solution. It's similar to when you have two miners on the same IP or the wifi/cat both up on a S3, its just not talking to the pool while talking to my computer just fine.

I tried setting a static IP, but after filling in an address, subnet and the rest, but the miner still refuses to connect, beeps and the miner looses the firmware and displays X.X.X.X in the hardware version till I reset the Network back to DHCP? Can the S7 not be set for static, that doesn't make sense?

sounds like its got a funky bios, or memory chip, if you stick it in dhcp and save setting does it save them after a reboot?, also make sure it on the router to your internet connection, no bridges and such in the way,

you using
stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
(i tried slushpool.com:3333 by accident and got nowhere XD)

I can leave it in DHCP and the miner will at least be accessible thru the browser. My router sees the Antminer just fine. Even tried entering the miner's mac address in my routers DMZ to maybe open anything that might be closed. Everything stays if I reboot, been doing plenty trying to figure this out.

try a different pool.


stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
