Hey quick question. I have an AntMiner S1 and its not letting me access it via the address on the sticker. I just got it from a friend that was having some issues with it and trying to help them out. I have reviewed over the troubleshooting techniques and nothing has worked. I have pressed the little black button for 3 seconds, nothing. i tried it for 5 and still nothing. i tried the paper clip and still didn't work.
I have uploaded a small video of what lights are flashing.

Heya man,
There are a few steps you can take to test this out a bit more.
1. First, if you have another ant running (I say another instead of "more ants" because what I'm about to explain you would have already figured out if that were the case), make sure it's not running on 192.168.1.99 (out of 8 units I've received 8 of them used this by default).
2. Verify the network cable works by swapping it with the laptop/computer you're using and make sure you can still connect to sites, etc.
3. Is this connected to the same switch as another computer on your network or did you put it on its own?
4a. What network is your local net on? If you're connecting to the same switch as the computer you're on the net with, click start (then the run menu if you have an old windows install then type: cmd and hit enter) or if a newer version of windows in the white input text box on the start menu type: cmd and hit enter
4b. Once the DOS prompt is up (black box), in it type this: ipconfig and then hit enter and tell me the output
5. Another step you could take is connect a laptop or a desktop via crossover cable to the ant directly. If you don't know how to crimp a cable, you can buy one in the store. Once you have the crossover cable running from the ant to the computer you're using to test with, verify your network settings and let's say set the following info:
IP: 192.168.1.200
netmask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway (which won't work but we have to set it): 192.168.1.1
dns: 8.8.8.8
After that, follow the instructions in step 4a to get a DOS prompt up and type: ping 192.168.1.99 and see if it pings.
If all of the above yield no results or you get a bit confused, don't worry it's alright. Feel free to contact me and if we need to we'll get on a skype call or over the phone and try to diagnose the issue together. My e-mail is
