well, logged into another miner and got the connection closed by foreign host...
Why is it not mining now??

Or Does that mean it is another issue totally??

Ok... just entered this...

Would I get this : connection closed by foreign host -- just below the oink??
 
not getting that... I get : telnet: can't connect to remote host (209.141.38.251): Connection timed out
root@antminer4~# oink
-ash: oink: not found

I know Ive got to bypass the NTPD server...

I have putty open, logged into miner,  and type in the bypass code... do i just end the code there..

I see the #     fi
                     echo $PARAMS

What do I do next??  clost the window and end the session? or do I need to issue some save command??

This..

Server:    127.0.0.1
Address 1: 127.0.0.1 localhost

Name:      openwrt.org
Address 1: 78.24.191.177 openwrt.org

My router is a new AC wifi....Asus RT series....

Ok... Sushi told me this morning that I needed to repair the NTPD error in my system log.... I guess thats what he meant? I just thought I needed to correct the timezone for my miner to
the correct one? It was one timezone off... I corrected that this AM...

So I need to log into the Linux environment...How would this happen??

Well..I have flashed three of the miners back to 3.8.5 and nada..................................

Just to verify.... If I flash back to older firmware I won't brick this thing right? I have a January model that's working great with this older 3.8.5... So, shouldn't but.........

Do you mean like Eligius IP address.. 23.21.225.111??

yep.. here it is..

I currently have two models with the cgminer 3.8.5-1 version installed with manufacturer labels 12/16/2013 and 1/4/2014..
BUT, I have (6) other S1 miners who after pulling them out of the box brand new manufacturer stamped 1/4/2014 will NOT connect once the pool information etc. is entered!!
The only difference I can see is that these 6 models currently have the 3.12.0-1 version of cgminer installed!! The other 2 miners that are actually hashing have the 3.8.5-1 version!!!

Can this be the problem??
I set the others up exactly the same as the first 2... but NO DICE..........

 

Ok.. I installed a new Cat6 cable from my router to my server room... Installed a trendnet 16 port greenswitch and connected all 8 miners.. I installed 240v receptacles for all power supplies. I turn them all on and by default I guess the miners connect to the internett bc
I initially changed all miners to consecutive IP's 192.168.1.200-208 (skipped 205....) Changed the DNS server to 8.8.8.8.. Made sure the WAN setting is DHCP client... All saved the same as the first two...
I entered the Eligius pool data username as my BC address and just entered some random password... The first two miners have been running flawlessly since I did this.... But, as soon as I entered the Pool data/worker name/ password into the other miners they began to beep! they had lost their connection to the internet... I never get the connection back after the pool settings are entered...

Thats when I began to try different things for the others... I changed routers, I even changed networks... I reset one of the miners to default settings... I flashed the firmware as of today and nothing!

Do I need all three Pools filled in? I didnt need that on the first two....

I am a newbie and ordered ( Antminer S1's to try my hand at Bitcoin! The 6 miners were new in the box with most at 1/4/14 date stamps on them... Only (2) is a 12/13 stamp.... Well, I am at my wits end because I cannot for the life of me get 6 of the 8 to mine!! The only 2 that are mining are the two that were used!  I have tried moving to a new network, using a different router, checked any number of network settings like dns server settings, Pool with username and without, the PSU's I am using are gold rated EVGA 650w units and the units allow me to login, I have flashed the firware today from a new release 11 days ago and still NOTHING!! There is no way I have 6 bad units..... HELP!!
