S1s and BTOpenzone

[electricmarbles]

So, I've tried setting up my ants with no luck.

I have a laptop connected to BTOpenzone via wireless, which I have tried to bridge onto the Ethernet connection and share with the s1s. This doesn't work, the addresses all go all over the place, same with bridging the connections, for some reason I can't find the network addresses of my laptop after sharing or bridging. Has anyone else out there used bridging or ICS to bring their miners the net?

What the heck is BTOpenzone?

its a crappy wifi, which I have to use for my main internet as I dont have a phone line, and live on an army barracks.

Cheers, thanks! Army barracks don't have internet in this day and age?!

Are you trying to use the laptop as a wifi to ethernet bridge?  I assume that's what you meant by ICS (Internet Connection Sharing?).  I haven't done that recently, but you should be able to set the IP address of your laptop's ethernet port to a static IP address.  Since Antminers default (usually) to 192.168.1.99, I'd set your laptop to 192.168.1.1, unless you wifi IP address is in the 192.168.1.X range, then you'll have to use something else.

Wait, maybe we should back up a bit.  Have you been able to get from the laptop to the Antminer's config web page at all?

Fixed now, it was a DNS issue
