I've been struggling with this for weeks. I cannot figure out what needs to happen in order for the miner to actually start mining.

The vendor has been no help, other than replacing the miner, but the problems I'm having are the exact same.

Is someone able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I've set the miner up, and the miner can communicate to devices outside of my network. The credentials have been tested by the vendor. But I cannot get the mining to start.

The WAN port is disabled, and I'm communicating with the miner via the LAN port.

The LAN port has full access to my network and outside of my internet connection.

I notice you have your interfaces bridged. The way my s1 is setup is I have all my ip settings on the wan port. My interfaces are also bridged, so I do not have any ip settings on the Lan port (set to dhcp client). I also notice you have 2 Lan interfaces. Is that wireless and wired? I am not using the wireless as I have seen complaints about it.

If you need I can give you screenshots of my setup once I am home.

Screenshots would be awesome.

I had the WAN ports set up, and the miner could talk outside the network just fine. But mining would never start. So I read some forums somewhere and they said the use the LAN port.

Now the LAN ports work the way they are supposed to, but still, no mining.

I'm not proud to say this, but I've been struggling at getting mining started for over 2 weeks, and I can't get anything to happen.

Not to worry. I set mine to the wrong ip range and had to factory reset. It is FUN finding that reset button.

Yea, that reset button is small. But after you've pressed it 75 times as I have, I can find it in my sleep.

I went back in an made the WAN port active via DCHP, and now the miner sees the outside network via that port.

But I still have no mining going on. I don't understand why this is being so difficult.

Ok I am home. Just for giggles, have you tried pinging stratum.btcguild.com? You can do this from the diagnostics tab. Just type it in.

definitely can ping stratum.btcguild.com.

I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuBvGUT6VM8

and with the exception of his IP address, I matched it setting for setting.

the miner sees the pool. the pool sees the miner. but there is no mining going on.

I can watch the traffic (on the firewall) between the miner and the pool.

That's really weird.

Are your worker names in the correct format?(fillmywallet_1) Any password will work. The number is the actual worker. The other name is your username on btcguild.com. Also did you create the worker on your btcguild account?

Also have you tried another pool? You really need a backup pool anyway.

I sent my settings over to the support people at jonesgear, where I bought the miner. They are using my worker on one of their miners. that same exact information will not work for me.

So yes, my worker is in the right format, and yes, I created the username on btcguild.com

There is only one pool in there (listed 3 times), but on your suggestion I made another one on another site to see what would happen.

Normally I would say it's something blocking port 3333, but you can see it in your router logs. Out of curiosity can you telnet to port 3333 on stratum.btcguild.com?(from a command prompt) telnet stratum.btcguild.com 3333 You wont be able to actually connect, but you should get a black screen. You should not get an unable to connect error.

This assumes your pc is on the same subnet as your miner.(192.168.254.??)

Well that confirms that you have full communication. On the miner status page do you have any getworks at all?

On my Ants I ignore the LAN, set only the WAN (wide area network) to a FIXED IP (not DHCP, because you'll reach the end of your finite time DHCP lease, and you don't want to 'baby sit' your miner and manage renewing the lease).  The fixed IP needs to be within your router's range and not clash with any existing devices (if your router supports local network IP 'reservation' use that to reserve the same fixed IP for the Ant, so you if there is some new device connected while the Ant is off for some reason, it won't 'capture' the intended address of the Ant).
Ensure that your pool settings are 100% correct (or after factory reset it will bring the 'test' pools and you can check that these hash after your fixed your WAN, before you try your own pool(s)).

If you read Bitmain's AntMiner S1 Manual, and Sushi's guide, they all refer to the WAN.  Note also that the LAN and WAN cannot be on the same network segment (Bitmain's S1 manual, page 6 of 9).

Good luck

There is nothing listed on the miner status page - just "This section contains no values yet." It's been sitting empty for 3 weeks.

The lights on the actual device are flashing slowly, and the Realtime Load on the Realtime Graphs - Load page shows the average load at .04. I'm pretty sure based on that it's completely idle.

There is traffic on eth1.

The WAN interface is set up just as the manual and the youtube video describes. There is no configuration on the LAN. You can see packets on the WAN interface in both directions.

I can ping and traceroute from the box to both stratum.btcguild.com and api.bitcoin.cz

I don't get it.

My interface screen does not look like this. On the Lan interface it says br-lan(Bridged) But my wan interface says eth1. Assuming you are using the wired connection I would move the wan interface to eth1 in physical settings.

Ok on the lan interface under physical settings put a check in the bridge interfaces box and set it to eth0.

Also check the firewall settings

And still nothing? I am going to start posting my settings. Let me know if you see something different. Also are you hitting save and apply when you make changes?
