finally restored the settings! Now another problem. Avalon will connect with the network cable. I have a five-port router. When connecting directly to the computer, everything is OK, but when a through router, I can not go on 192.168.0.100. In router menu I see strange IP address, but not same as Avalon have. How I can configure Avalon with router?
disable DNS and setup static ip address, your router might be setup where the range starts at 192.168.0.101 disable dns in main router or avalon? how I setup static ip in main router? damn, I so noob in network configuration it`s main page of my router

or if you have othr devices on the network that depend on that subnet ... then dont change the subnet of the router. Rather set a PC temporarily to an ip within the same subnet, then go to config page on avalon and change it to correct subnet...

I looked up the code (in relation to my HW error comments before) HW is the count of bad nonces generated plus NMW NMW is when work comes back but it doesn't match any work sent to it (thus cannot be used)
Anyway to minimize NMW? My NMW hovers right around .52% of all matching work... Or is NMW ALSO the result of chip errors?

just found my first confirmed block ever =) 43mil diff share....freakin badass! woot! From my single avy...lol
solo mining? i have tried setting up solo with no luck even had help view team viewer from someone who has solo setup and for some reason it just would not work on my computer psh I wish I was solo mining...looks like by my calc, solo mining @ current diff should find a block every 2 weeks or so =P

Finally got my Avalon today!
I'm running it with dynamic speed adjustment and I have it on a desk and a box right in front of my window AC unit which is feeding into the inlet. I have the AC set on high, cool, and 69 degrees. Seems right now frequency is stabilized at about 349MHz so far, and I'm getting about 87GH/s although sometimes it's as high as 90 or as low as 83. Probably needs more time to find out what the real average is.
I have a better AC unit coming tomorrow. It's a standalone unit and I'm going to have it piped right into the avalon intake. It's 12000 BTU so it might be a bit of an overkill. Hopefully I can run it on low. Will I be able to get above 90GH/s or so without getting a new power supply?
Anyways, my question is why does it show as a much lower (78GH/s or so) hash rate on the 50BTC.com website. Should I be using a different pool perhaps (I signed up for ozcoin but haven't tried it yet)? I believe 50BTC.com supports the stratum protocol and it says "true" under the stratum entries on the cgminer table, except for the last one "StratumURL".
Which is the hardware error field, btw? And what should that be kept below? Ugh, sorry for all the questions. I'm reading up as many threads as I can about the Avalon now, but it's hard to find all this information in one place (yes, I've read the wiki).
which AC unit did you order? sounds like a good idea.

When i change the IP for the avalon from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.1.xxx, do i also need to change the gateway? Right now the router is 192.168.1.1 and the ipv4 gateway (in avalon conf) is 192.168.0.1

I tried to run --avalon-auto.
It worked ok in most regards except when it settled @ 337 i was getting a massive amount of dupes from btcguild.
I am now using --avalon-fan 100 (yes very noisy) and manually doing the overclock, i have gotten past 337 with no heat problems and no dupes.
Can i run --avalon-auto and --avalon-fan 100 at the same time?
Is there a user manual page for the --options that we can run, i only found --avalon-fan by stumbling on someone else's post.
I am running 0703 firmware from ckolivas (thank you Sir).

which AC unit did you order? sounds like a good idea. Here is a screenshot of my CGMiner status. I'm not sure which column is the hardware errors. Does everything else look good? The AC I got is a Sylvia SYL-12PE. See: http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-Portable-Conditioner-Dehumidifer-SYL-12PE/dp/B008J5CFOM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topI think it draws 1000+ watts when the compressor is running, so I'm worried about tripping a breaker even if the compressor doesn't run very often. I would have bought a 8000 BTU unit but I bought this off a friend for $200 so I figure it was a good deal. I'm going to home depot this evening and get some supplies to build some ductwork for it.

Oh, so let me see if I understand, NMW is just chip errors - probably related directly to OC/ heat, while HW errors is NMW + .. comm errors.. etc? OR is HW errors a direct result of NMW? Does NMW in any way relate to shares / share difficulty?

Oh, so let me see if I understand, NMW is just chip errors - probably related directly to OC/ heat, while HW errors is NMW + .. comm errors.. etc? Send work off, get an answer. The answer should be a valid share, and cgminer can track which chip bank it was sent to. If the response is not a valid share, it's an "invalid nonce" type of hardware error. If the response is garbled to the point of being gibberish and doesn't even look like a response, it's "no matching work" and cgminer can't even tell which chip was giving the garbage response. HW errors is the sum of both of these types of error.

HW errors is the sum of both of these types of error. Ah, ok thanks for the explanation. In short OC'n can cause both types. So would each NMW constitute as an invalid diff1 share? cuz afaik HW errors are all equivilant to invalid diff1 shares .. which is why it used as 2% of diff1shares for --avalon-auto...? In other words could one calculate the ratio of NMW to HW errors by doing (NMW / (HW errors - NMW)) * 100?

Yes each should have actually been a valid diff1share. The 2% value is one I pulled out of my arse derived from a complicated regression analysis that correlated with the highest effective hashrate where pushing the MHz higher increased hardware errors and started decreasing valid share generation.

or would it be (NMW / HW errors) * 100
Either way, since they both are diff1 related work then either of the above should be valid .. right?

It will be (NMW / HW errors) * 100 Don't concern yourself too much by the distinction between the different type of hardware errors. Sometimes we just expose too much internal information that doesn't help the users much.

Yeah, I realize in the end all that matters is the cumulative amount between the 2 types, but I like the knowledge of knowing whats really goin on behind the scenes, so thanks for explaining it to me =)

Your second and third pool are still setup to mine for Avalon. If 50btc goes down, you will automatically start mining for Avalon... You should think about changing that, unless you really really really loved waiting for your machine/s. Yeah, I know. It's embarassing . I actually changed it but I didn't "apply" it yet because I didn't want to restart the miner at that point because I was in the middle of testing power consumption with the kill-a-watt. I'll go reset that when I get home.
