no progress... nmap says need to specify a host...i tried both desktop ip's, but that doesnt seem to give me anything.
there was a 0.0.0.0 ip address in wireshark...?  I tried everry ip address I found...the miner is running, the ethernet lights are pinging away..... huh...  I'm ready to get an ulcer

I think I read somebody else having a similar failure which resolved when he replaced the cat5 cable.

There is a DHCP server working as two of the base network (192.168.43.0/24) addresses are dynamic not static.  The server should assign addresses in its range to the bridged devices.  So, again, I think the bridge isn't set up properly.  If the bridge is set up properly he should be able to run a cable to the bridge from a laptop, boot the laptop with DHCP for it's interface IP assignment, and get assigned an address on that laptop in the 192.168.43.0 network, say 192.168.43.100 which he would ascertain by bringing up a dos cmd box on the laptop and using ipconfig /all.

Ipconfig /all is a good command to know.  I taught my boss that at work years ago when he was having a problem with the company network.

do these things default to a 127.0.0.1 address when no DHCP SERVER to assign IP addie???

127.0.0.1 is only for devices to talk to themselves (localhost)

Let me re-phrase the question, what happens or what IP address is assigned to a KNC Miner, if these isn't a DHCP server on the network?

What would be the resolution to connecting to the KNC miner at this point. Thanks.

a.) Linux assigns localhost:  127.0.0.1
b.) There is no resolution.

I'm beginning to think that they setup a Mercury instead of a Jupiter....
http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/13tPxnba6GeZEM1c7494nYtHwSHd3HzfMB



This is a hosted Jupiter that came online today.  Has anyone seen a Jupiter with 3 bad boards modules?

They sent you my Merc!

On the flipside, how many Chinese can actually afford these miners?

Are you joking? Don't you watch any financial news? The Chinese economy is off the hook. They do have taken all the manufacturing that countries like USA used to do. The Chinese are cash rich. They have sh!t tonnes of cash to spend.

Their great trade surplus doesn't mean their people are well off.  The majority work for pennies on the dollar when manufacturing stuff for the rest of the world.

Check out Shanghai or Beijing sometime. Or just google downtown of anyone of these two, and repeat that again. And note that while they are two cities, there's tens of millions of people in each. Not to mention Hong Kong, Shen Zhen, or other big tier two cities.

Trust me, while the majority might be working for pennies on the dollar (in tier three cities mind you), there is absolutely no shortages of rich people in China.

(Edit: Though I just checked, its closer to 6k for a Nov Jupiter for China KNC due to tax and whatnot. However the hype machine is even crazier there)

Are you sure a bridge is what you want?  Perhaps you want a repeater.  Linksys shows bridging to be adding ports to the original router.  Your router might have a 4 port switch on the back and be able to assign any number of IP address via DHCP using wireless.  Linksys, Cisco, shows a bridge as taking a second router attaching it to the first adding its 4 port switch to the first giving you 8 RJ45 ports on the base network.

If  you're trying to connect a wireless router in one room to a laptop in another and have that act as a bridge, I think you need to use something like DD-WRT and make a repeater rather than a bridge.  The laptop acting as a router on its own would assign addresses to a network distinct from the one in the other room and relay the data.  But I'm guessing here.  I had only looked at it briefly the other day after spotting an option on a Linksys wireless router that said BRIDGE.  Dropped my whole network trying that and didn't hash for a while.  Decided I might do it but not anytime soon.

this connected to cable modem

and this as wireless extender near the miners with ports

works like a charm - pair stuff up and they seem to work simpler

have they stopped pissing/shitting & spitting everywhere, in their new found affluence?

HELP.. I have no idea how to use wireshark...  and cant find the ip address of the miner...
is there an easy way?

i have a netgear router and there's an iPhone app where you can see your devices.  It's called "netgear genie."  So if you have netgear, just get the app.

[Kuma]

heres what the Texas Instruments device comes up as on wireshark...

Eh stupid question, do you have DHCP server on your network? Looks like the miner requests IP from DHCP server, but receives no assignment.
But hard to say when we don't know your network topology.
 

[demonmaestro]

Yes he does have a DHCP on the network however i think that the miner is set to static. also his "dhcp server" does not have a web portal like most routers do.

after a scan of the network via nmap it does not show the miner.. thus should make the miner on a static ip/different sub net.

see if you can go this address. : Default Address of the BBB .

The solution? Get a decent router with an actual web interface with DHCP list.

And even better. Try a proper ethernet cable instead of a ethernet to wireless solution.

its more of a wirless to ethernet situation...

is he running these back in Hawaii now or that swamp place with the free electricity ??

$7200 missing $20 router LOL go to the store real quick

A router with a system log would be helpful also.

Isn't he using one of those wired to wireless network bridge devices? He plugs it into his miner so he can connect it to his wireless network.

So in this case, it is a ethernet (the miner) to wireless (his network) problem (possibly as we don't know if the miner is faulty or not).

Or maybe the miner has some software issues (static IP). Seems unlikely. Have you tried a hard reset?

I'm thinking if you use a ethernet cable and plug it directly into the router, shit should work straight away.

[plasmoske]

And I haven't gotten any login details yet for the hosted miner (Day1/early preorder here). I've gotten that compensation yesterday but that's about it.

Strange how everyone else seems to have gotten their login/details already.

Anyhow I tried to opened the website and guess my username lol (tried email, my miner worker name, order number etc) and reset it.

Didn't work. So I guess I'll just wait and see when the login details for the knc pool/host actually come.

seriously go to a library and plug it in and get your coins!!!

[Phoenix1969]

I now have the miner plugged directly to the laptop, which has access to the wifi...alot less garble, but still see no ip for the miner...

Ive kinda said too much already and not up to me to discuss how his network is ran/wired.
