thanks Biffa,
so basically i can skip the Setup IP address on your computer step and continue from the next step which is Confiigure AntMiner for Mining Bitcoin or whatever other coin.
also my psu has 2 separate pcie wires, each with two identical connectors on one wire. If i understand correctly, its I should use both separate wires for the antminer(one for each blade) instead of using one wire and utilizing both its heads.
correct?
If your PC is already on the 192.168.1.x range then yes you don't need to change your PC settings. Plug the antminer into your network and see if you can ping its IP address. Open a console or command prompt and type: ping 192.168.1.x (whatever the antminers address is) if you get a response then you're good to go. Or just try browsing to the antiminers ip address. Regarding the power wires, you will have less chance of overheating/loading the wires if you use separate ones for each blade rather than a split wire, especially if you are going to overclock. need to power two ants but only one psu has arrived 750W Rosewill Capstone Gold, Single 12V rail, +3.3V@24A,+5V@24A,+12V@62A,-12V@0.5A,+5VSB@3A no need to oc now, i can wait few days for second unit. I dont know if i should use the split or what but ill figure something out I use Rosewill capstone 650s to power mine. 1 per ant. 1 pcie per board. Overclocks fine, no hot wires or the like. If it was me I would prob give it a shot with what you have but would keep a very close eye on the wires and certainly no overclocking. |

my desktop is connected to the miner via ethernet, I am able to connect to the miner setup screen sometimes but after i log in and press on whatever configuration tab the connection between my desktop and the miner seems to drop off and the normal browser error screen when there is no connection.
Turning off the psu and powering back on establishes connection (not always) but the same problem happens.
Now the miner is the new version and its ip address is in the region of my ip address. Again pinging the ant gets response on some tries and nothing on other tries. I have connected the psu, one wire per blade so no split wire thing. Any ideas?

The miner should be connected direct to the router/switch unless you are creating a bridge using the desktop WIFI then via the ethernet port. Start from default 192.168.1.99 then all you need to do is enter the pool and worker details. No need to connect direct to PC unless you are on a different sub net. |

UPS actually delivered a day earlier than I expected! Seems like I need to replace one or maybe 2 fans but they got far less dust on them than what others have posted.

how would setting up the 2nd ant differ from the process I went through for the first one?
is the portion of Susi's setup page about Change IP address of the AntMiner [Option] have to do with setting up the second and subsequent machines?

No need to connect direct to PC unless you are on a different sub net. so no need to mess with the WAN or LAN setting's either? I see the LAN is set to DHCP The only reason if you want to mess with the WAN would be to set a static IP - my advice: edit the wan set IP to anything you want and disable DHCP as it will get very confused if it has a static ip also trying to get an IP from DHCP. So 1. Connect to miner 2. Edit wan setting set Static IP 3. Turn off DHCP on miner 4. Set miner pool settings now apply the settings 5. Test on new static ip 6. Happy mining  Cheers |

If you have more than 1 ant all you do is set up each ant at a time. Set each ant with it's own Static IP. DHCP can cause loss of mining when the IP expires. Thanks |

thank you
on the WAN tap the Protocol is already on Static address (is this what you mean?)
and turning DHCP off pups up 3 additional tabs (Start, Limit, and Leasetime) do you have any suggestions for figures for those boxes

so ive gone through the setup process, seems everything was successful.
in miner setup, I entered a p2pool address for pool1, and used my bitcoin address as the worke1 name, with some password.
how does do I actually initiate the mining process?

When you hit the SAVE&APPLY. It will update your settings and restart the miner and start mining away. If it does not, recheck your pool configuration. |

I have noticed that even though everything is correct, you sometimes have to hit save and apply twice before it will actually start mining....not sure if it a particular firmware...but have noticed it on more than one unit.... |

and is anyone dedicating their miners to work on alt coins, then converting to bitcoins
considering difficulty of bitcoin, i thought that might be the best thing but no one here seems to be doing that. Would appreciate the advise
that what i am dong and i have been doing for the last 2 weeks Hi pjcltd and thanks again for helping me out when I was setting up my miner I also have this question as to if its better to mine altcoins rather than bitcoins directly. I have tried mining UNO but had better results in 24 hours by mining btc directly. I am currently mining btc but I would love to know if I could increase my daily earnings a bit Care to share some thoughts? Thanks  |

Thanks just to throw my 2cents....and i haven't done hard cold figures...but am mining btc and peercoin and litecoin. obviously you are interested in a btc alternative...and a more profitable one at that....not sure if there is one...but peercoin seems like a logical bet only because in my non educated opinion it seems harder to go from $1000/btc to $3000/btc or 3 times the money than for peercoin to go from $6 do $18....and peercoin has the benefit of being the no. 2 sha256 coin so when all the ASICs that can't keep up with bitcoin will have to go somewhere, and I don't think it will be the trash....so they'll go mine another sha256 coin....I think it will be PEERCOIN. |

When you hit the SAVE&APPLY. It will update your settings and restart the miner and start mining away. If it does not, recheck your pool configuration. there is no configuration to check, just entered bitcoin mining address from p2pool.org, followed by my bitcoin address as the worker and password only one pool info entered but when i click save and apply the browser-like-processing-circle keeps turning nonstop |

I have seen it get stuck like that once. I just rebooted and all was fine. You could always try rebooting it too. |
