Sorry I was thinking Peercoins/Digitalcoin/Mazacoin/Battle coin which are SHA-256.

Hi everyone,

(I know about mining solo and the chances to find a block, but I would like to try it on some different currencies for fun)

I have been trying to search on the forum here how to configure the Antminer S5 to basically mine on my own network solo.  I have the Antminer S5 in the basement connected to the router directly and upstairs I would like to setup a local server so I can solo mine some Peercoins or Altcoins using the SHA algorithm. I tried setting up the ".conf" file using the RPC username/password, port etc. etc.

- I can ping fine the computer upstairs from the Antminer (the port is open I checked)

Every time I enter in the URL (my upstairs computer IP (192.168.1.171)) in the Antminer and the username/password/port and it just will not mine, it says the connection is dead.  Anyone have some pointers?  Is this even possible to mine on the network to the upstairs computer, or the only way to do it is to hook up the Antminer locally to the Computer upstairs?
