Hello again!

So I finally found a good deal on a pair of SeaSonic G Series and they are pretty good, considering I only pretty much got to set them up for mining, I'm pretty happy with them.  Now my new dilema, I need some help to understand the configurations, namely because none of the guides out there have specific information.  As you may have not noticed, English is not my first language.

I followed a few guides and they all come down to this statement that no one has the same opinion about it seems like.  There's also stuff missing, guide's a bit old... mind you in bitcoin land, 1 days is like a year.



I did all that down to the last part except I used 1's instead of 2's since my number was 192.168.1.99.  Well, guess what happens in Win7 When you click to assign the IP Manually?  It blacks out the option to "Obtain DNS server address automatically" and vice versa, so I am rather confused since the guide wants an auto DNS capture.  I also watched the video everyone recommends, not much effort was put into it (Language barrier, unsteady, bad audio, I will make a much better video once I get this all figured out but for now though, I need to make sense of all this and get those ants to work!  

Anyways, I did everything else as the guide says but when I go to login to the miner, I get a white page, can't do nothing else.  I'm not sure if I have to be online or offline as it is not stated consistently in the guides when to be on or offline.  I've set the IPv4 to 192.168.1.25 then when I try to log in, that's where I get the white page, no interface loads up.  Please be as specific, I can deal with too "much information" rather having to rummage for more.

Thanks again, y'all helped do a great decision last time

I think I did everything and I'll be damned if I got a pair of faulty ants.  I know it's something simple out of sight...

Thanks again, y'allr the best

Don't forget to set the broadcast address to 192.168.1.255 and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8

Ping from a computer on the same network the Ant address 192.168.1.25, then if you get replies, open a browser to that same address to configure.

Do you have the Ant connected to the lan port of this modem directly by ethernet cable, or are you trying to configure the Ant wirelessly?

Okay, open a command prompt on your PC, and type in ipconfig and hit enter.  Post your ipconfig here so we can determine what ip to set the Ant with.

Once you've posted your ipconfig here, download ip scanner to detect the Ant's current ip:

Once we get the Ant's ip, we can determine whether we have to change your PC network settings to configure the Ant's settings.

The screenshot of Settings, is that your network card?

Could you post an Ipconfig /all to see all your network adapters on your PC?

Good job!  Glad to see you were able to figure it out.   

So I left it be overnight, now I cannot log into the interface again. 

I get the the page to enter the password and then I either time out or whatnot, connection is lost.

I keep trying and trying only to get the same message or get to the black screen then when I enter the password, boom, connection lost.

I've tried different ethernet cables.

Thing is, I think my computer has too many internet related settings so it could be conflicting somewhere.

I also don't have an IE browser which I think many were saying to use that one...  I just don't like it, too slow, too bulky.

The miner seems to be mining already, the fan is running fast/er and a decent amount of heat is coming out the end of it.

@Dogie - I'm not sending anything back, I ordered mine from the manufacturer directly.  If BitMain can't offer a working product out of the box and adequate level of service I will just write it off as a loss and throw it in the garbage and deal with another manufacturer who values my business.  Tis the second time I get screwed by BitMain in less than a month so I'm already not too happy with them.  I've more conviction to make it work, it's one thing with me, if something don't work, I'll keep hacking until it works.

I'll download IE then if that don't work I'll try using another, less busy computer to do set ups.

Also the lights on my laptop at the Ethernet card, the green is on but the orange flickers, which leads me to believe it's something with my computer and not the miner.  The one green light on the miner is always flashing...

Surely someone has had this issue before.  I don't think it's a miner issue as it is a local computer issue.

Hey Chuck, you asked the only question I was hoping you wouldn't ask lol

It wasn't easy considering one of my laptops has a pooched wifi card and this computer's over 20 years old lol

Quite a jump from a ThinkPad W530...  None the less...

I can now get to the page where you enter pool information but it never accepts it.

I'm trying to add Eligius, BTC Guild and BitMinter.

I can do pretty much everything else now other than do the save & apply function.  I keep getting hung up on.

Here's a shot of an ipconfig/all and it's all there it to it.  It's the only place there is anything other than zeroes.

I suggest trying the ipscanner again, it sounds like your ant is changing ip addresses. It might be on a different ip.

Wait, so your router/modem's gateway is 192.168.0.1, not 192.168.1.1 ?   

Could you also post a screen shot of your WAN configuration from your Antminer, thanks.
