I think the problem is in my network somewhere. Let's start from the beginning I changed my ip address from a 192.168.0.x  to a 192.168.1.x ip
I got the blade to connect once seen the configuration page and everything well I changed the ip address to 192.168.1.24 yea I know I should have set it to 192.168.0.24 well I kind of rushed it a little anyways I hit update servers and such changed my Ip back to automatically find an Ip. Well after this no matter what I do go back and change my Ip to a 192.168.1. ip I cannot connect to the blade all I get is an internet explorer cannot open the search page. I have reset my router reset my blade nothing and I mean nothing will get me back to that configuration page. I pressed the reset button on my router and touched the 2 pins on the blade next to the Ethernet port and still same thing cannot connect to search page. This is very frustrating I have had this blade for about 2 weeks and cannot get it to connect to the configuration page again. All help would be appreciated.

Just reset it and it will go back to 192.168.1.254.... its the 2 pins by the network NIC.

I have done this many times it still won't let me connect again after the first time I connected I have never been able to connect again.

can you post a screen cap of your local network settings? If the blade is on 192.168.1.254 you need to also be on the same 192.168.1.X network.

I know this I have set a static Ip of 192.168.1.10 Subnet of 255.255.255.0 gateway of 192.168.1.1 try to connect to my blades configuration page and nothing. I have tried this on more than one pc I just don't understand why it connected to the configuration page once but never again.

OP What o/s are you using?

Your computer needs to route to 192.168.1.0/24 if the blade was indeed reset or configured to the IP you state in your post.


Assign a temporary IP address to your computer in that range and try to ping the blade at 192.168.1.254 or the IP 192.168.1.24 you configured the blade to.



You can also add a temporary static route directly to the blades IP to bypass your router.


Most are using Windows:

 In a command prompt issue:

   ipconfig    # to find the systems IP address: 192.168.0.12 for example.

Then issue:

   route add 192.168.1.254 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.12   # for default blade IP

or

   route add 192.168.1.24 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.0.12     # the IP you configured the blade at


This will not be persistent and will go away after a reboot of the computer.


If you are using Linux you should already know how to accomplish the above in your distro.

How would I add that into the CMD I tried Route 192.168.1.254 then what comes next or what is the entire command line I should run so I can get to the configuration page?

The commands above with 'route' up to, but not including, the # is the entire command, after that try to ping the blade:

 ping 192.168.1.254

If pings reply then you should be able to get to the config page on the blade:

 http://192.168.1.254:8000

Edit: also realize that 192.168.0.12 is an example I chose and might not be your computers actual IP!

Tell me if this is right
route my ip the subnest mask and the gateway # the ip of my blade?

I'm guessing you are using Windows yes?

Example:

    C:\WINDOWS> ROUTE ADD 192.168.1.254 MASK 255.255.255.255  192.168.0.12
                               blades IP^                         ^mask               ^computers IP

    C:\WINDOWS> PING 192.168.1.254



What is the IP of your computer?

I tried that and it says the requested operation requires elevation.

OK, so 192.168.0.3 is your computers IP


You will need to run the command prompt as administrator, you usually right click on the cmd icon in the start menu and select 'Run as Administrator'

Then issue:

  C:\WINDOWS>  ROUTE ADD 192.168.1.254 MASK 255.255.255.255  192.168.0.3

If indeed the blade is set to 192.168.1.254, you might try unplugging the network cable and issue the ping again, it should fail.

If it fails plug the cable back in and try the config page on the blade at http://192.168.1.254:8000

I got it man thanks for all your help now I just have to figure out how to get it hashing? I use EMC Pool so do you know how I would set that up I already know the server address and user name and what not so how do I direct the blade to start hashing?

I use bfgminer, it has built in proxy for the blades.

I am using BFG miner as well in the location in properties I have it already directed towards my usb block erupters how do I add the blade?

Add --http-port 8332 to the end of your .bat file that starts bfgminer then point the blades at your computer.

on the blades configuration setting page set

Ports: 8332,8332
Server addresses: 192.168.0.3,192.168.0.3
user:pass: blade1:pass1,blade1:pass1

if you have more than one blade set the username: blade1 unique on each blade so they show up individually in bfgminer.

Tried that in BFG Miner I am using the one where I have a shortcut on my desktop remember I am also running USB miners when I enter that command line and apply it and close and open BFG miner BFG miner just shuts down.

that's my ip you typed so I add my ip to the server address on the blade then what do I put in the command line for instance if I want to add
stratum+tcp://us1.eclipsemc.com:333

Is BFG already pointed at your eclipsemc pool?

What's the contents of the shortcut? Like when you right-click-> properties, what's the "target" line read?

bfgminer -0 http://us1.eclipsemc.com:8337-uxxxxx_xxxxx -p xxxxxx -G -S then the scrypt for the Icarus settings for the USB block erupters.

According to 7queue in an earlier reply, you need to tuck a "--http-port 8332" in there somewhere. Put that in the line, restart BFG using that shortcut, and point your blades to server 192.168.0.3, port 8332 and see if they light up.

If you create an emcmine.bat this may work, I haven't verified it:

Edit: just realize you need to replace bfgminer with the path to the .exe - C:\someplace\bfgminer.exe

Easier to do what sidehack said and tack that onto the end of your shortcut

ok can't I just put that in the command line though? I tried running it the way the user above you said and it just opens and closes bfg miner. I set the server ip on the configuration page to my ip and added --http-port 8337 in bfg miner and it just opens and closes.

 -o http://us1.eclipsemc.com:8337 -u phazon307_myminer -p djdsfdf  -G -Sflall --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 --http-port 8332
Here is an image of configuration page.
http://s15.postimg.org/i3g25zpdn/DSCF6228.jpg

Tried that command line you suggested and it opens BFGminer but it only shows my 4 usb miners.

Do I change the gateway and dns from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.0.x?

Yes, you'll want the gateway and DNS set to your 0.x subnet

Ok I tried that did you look at the image I posted can you contact me on yahoo so we can get this done and over with faster my yahoo id is evil1stardragon@yahoo.com I add --http-port 8332 in bfgminer it still only shows my 4 usb miners and not the blade.

The blade's default gateway and primary DNS are currently set to 192.168.0.1?

You put --http-port 8332 in the shortcut target line and restarted BFG using that shortcut?

yes and it just opens then closes.

What happens if you run it straight from a command line?

'cd' to the folder where bfgminer.exe is, then type in the same as your target line in that shortcut link.

I am thinking I should just download the new bfgminer mine uses the command line version to start it. I have no bat file for bfgminer as it is all done with a script typed into the location section of the properties.

How old is your current version? That could be the issue - if it predates stratum proxy implementation, the unrecognized command might be throwing it for a loop.

I have connected to stratum before I do have a different version of bfg miner but I could never get it to work with my usb erupters

Newer versions of BFG probably use something different than --icarus for Block Erupters.

I am using bfgminer 3.3.0 windows 64

If you were on cgminer and slush proxy I'd have you going already. Darn this learning new software stuff...

I have cgminer but I can still use eclipsemc they have longpoll and stratum.

Try fetching the current version of BFG

Scratch the -S and --icarus anything, include -S erupter:all --http-port 8332

Stratum for my pool is
stratum+tcp://us.eclipsemc.com:333

same thing open then close

Download slush's stratum proxy - http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto

Open a command line

cd to the download folder

run 'mining_proxy.exe -o us.eclipsemc.com -p 333 -gp 8332'

You may have to hit 'Switch Server' on your config page. Let me know how that works.

no go I know the blade is still connected cause I hit refresh and all the info is still there. Could you give me step by step for another program because bfgminer doesn't want to work.

See previous post - fairly straightforward for Slush's stratum proxy. Runs standalone in a command line.

I seen one problem but it didn't make a difference the ip on my other computer is 192.168.0.5 changed it added --http-port 8332 to both of my bfgminers and same thing opens then closes.

Are you running from an open shell window and not double clicking the executable?

I got it working been hashing with it for 3 days now glad I only paid 239 for it before btc capped 1000+
