STEP 1
FINALLY SUCCESS. Well a little bit. After contacting my ISP I was able to change my IP address in my router. SO now I can use BE Blade AND connect to internet. I also set a Static IP address. I watched this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkXBBlyBLE and changed my computer IP as a I said. Good thing I did because once my router IP address was changed I lost my computer internet. So I went in and reset the computer IP settings to match and all is working.
STEP 2 MASK 255.255.255.0 is default. I don't think I need to change this.
Step 3 GATEWAY I have this set to my computer's IP address. IS that correct?
STEP 4 WEB PORT defaults to 8000. Do I need to do port forwarding on my router? If so my router says 'Enter the "Server IP Address".' DO I enter the IP of my computer since it is acting as a server? Or do I enter the Blade IP?
The router says "
Enter the following information:
External Port Start
External Port End
Protocol
Internal Port Start
Internal Port End
Remote IP"
I think this would set up a port between my PC and my Blade. So the PC is the server and the blade is the remote IP. I know the protocol is TCP. I guess I can try external port start/end 8000 and internal port start/end 8001. But I don't even know what I am doing here. SO if any one has a better suggestion I am all ears.
DO I need to port forward to my mining pools ports 3334,3334? If so are they the server or the remote IP?
STEP 5 and 6 I just entered the primary and secondary DNS from my router. Is that right?
STEP 7 PORTS 3334,3334 are the ports I want to connect to at nl1.ghash.io, us1.ghash.io
STEP 8 Server Address nl1.ghash.io, us1.ghash.io
STEP 9 USER:PASS richg21.worker1:,richg21.worker1:
This is my goal "Stratum Servers: nl1.ghash.io:3334. us1.ghash.io:3333. Please use -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334 in your command line. You should name your workers richg21.<WORKER_ID> (e.g. richg21.worker1). Workers are added automatically, you can use any/empty password. The minimum stratum difficulty is 16. Support:
webmaster@ghash.io" I need to forward this to the webmaster.
STEP 10 STRATUM PROXY
I have updated my .bat file to read "cd C:\Program Files\Stratum Proxy
mining_proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io -p 3334" I guess using -p is better than before if you read my previous post. BUt it still won't work. Maybe I need a different version of Python??? Maybe my syntax is bad. I might post this issue in a mining trouble shooting forum.
I need to work on BGCminer some more but I think it is time for dinner. SO thank you for tuning in.
Your configuring this for intra-net access...
So here goes.
Step 2: Dont change. thats default unless you use a different ip range.
step 3: your gateway is going to be the same ip address as you used to enter your routers setup page; ie; 192.168.1.1
if your on windows, open a cmd promt ( start - type in cmd (windows7 + , windows xp: start-run cmd)
once the black window is open, type in ipconfig and then look for your gateway ip.
step 4:Dont port foreward, unless your trying to access it from your buddys house.
step 5/6: yes. the dns of your router is fine, also can use any other dns server.
steps 7: yes. I dont know the ports, but these are the ports of your pool, or your stratum proxy server.
step 8/9 look correct , if your connecting directly to the pool.
step 10: if you configured a stratum proxy. you'll need to rework
7/8/9/10 .
If your using the stratum proxy you will need to get the blade to connect to the computer running the stratum proxy. so if your pc thats running the proxy is located at 192.168.1.155 you would have the blade connect to this ip in step 7. the ports you setup the proxy to listen to would go in step 8. As far as step 9, the user name is fine regardless.
But make sure you have 2 servers ip's in there, also 2 ports
server: 192.168.xxx.xxx,192.168.xxx.xxx
ports: 3333,3333
or else the blade wont work.
