okay im stuck already. having to load my own sd card is a massive PITA.

i cant ssh to the default ip. says connection refused when using putty. can someone help list the steps to get me off hte ground, because neither the EU or US manuals seem to address this

do you have a monitor you can hook up to it to make sure the IP you are using and gateway are correct? hook up a keyboard also, and when it loads type ifconfig to check the IP and gateway

This ^^^

I had to reset the IP address of the Rpi as it was also 10.10.etc. Once I set a static IP then I could SSH in with putty and did not require a monitor.  Also, it may take 1-2 'sudo reboot' for it to stick.

no hdmi monitor and no usb keyboard on hand guys    also, is it normal for the several GB .img file to make the SD card suddenly appear 33/55MB full? is that an effect of the imaging or an error?

with the basic image, SSH to   192.168.1.249  simply times out. by adding the ip=192.168.1.249 command to the cmdline.txt file (i put it as the second-last modifier), i get "connection refused". What am i doing wrong here? I can't beleive I am wasting so much time to find/format/install my own Sd card (actually an 8gb microsd with an adapter)

that is normal. my minepeon images show my sd card small file size afterwards on windows

  You need 2GB or more spaces on SD card.

I have 8gb

You wouldn't put that as the command line value, you need to put something that matches your network.  You need to find out what the gateway is on your router.   Do an ipconfig command in a cmd prompt and see what the default gateway is. My belkin, for instance, uses a .2. subnet..

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : Belkin
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::4072:c744:ac4e:b893%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.3
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
  Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1

So my bitfury RPi had to be set to 192.168.2.249 to be visible to the network and router.

[Morblias]

Download nmap (nmap.org/dist/nmap-6.40-setup.exe) and do a ping scan on 192.168.1.* to see if the RPi is even on the address you are trying to ssh into (192.168.1.249). Either that or check in your router to see exactly what IP it assigned to it. It may not be the static IP you mentioned. Mine auto assigned a different IP to the RPi.

[-Redacted-]

But it won't auto-assign if it isn't doesn't have the correct gateway to receive an IP address from.  Or, if it's set to static routing, rather than using DHCP.  He's already said he can't see it in the router or SSH to it.  If it doesn't appear in the router, then it's on the wrong subnet.

   you get image with gateway fukup I think 192.168.2.1.

says there is an unknown OS on the ip 192.168.1.249, and my gateway is 192.168.1.1

the RPi seems to refuse SSH connection, rather than simply not being found

   Did you try to use IE with 192.168.1.249

chrome and IE both fail to connect to it (but fail faster [1-2sec] than if i entered some unused ip that takes 5-10 seconds to fail the ping attempt)

probably worth noting that the h-board is not getting warm, if operating at all. I assume this means that besides denying the SSH, it is also NOT hashing

has anyone else downloaded and used the rPi_v2.img file successfully?

ps: happened to me my playbook also used 192.168.1.249

changed the cmdline.txt file to be ip=192.168.1.240  and tried again. same result. Chrome quickly finds the device at that ip address, but returns "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.240". SSH attempts are faced with "connection refused"

what am i doing wrong? Ive wasted hours of downtime, driven myself insane, and am going to bed knowing that I won't be able to do anything until tomorrow evening at the earliest (24hrs from first plugging in my unit!) Does Punin have a different SD image i can try, maybe buzzdave's upload is no good?

When I used the cmdline.txt trick I ran a cable directly between the rpi and the laptop. Did you try that?

where do i find that folder? Im on a windows system so i can only see the FAT partition of my SD card, and have no ability to directly use the rPi as a workstation without a monitor/usb keyboard

edit: got a program to read file sin the linux partition, and i see:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.11.249
netmask 255.0.0.0
gateway 10.1.1.1

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

however, i cannot edit it, only save it to windows with this program

edit2: guess ive gotta go the long way around, get ubuntu on vmware and try fixing it that way...
