Hi all,
I am wondering if it's possible to use antminer S3 plugged with ethernet to my laptop which is on wifi ?
Any idea how to configure it this way ? because for some physical reason I can't plug it directly to my router.
Thx !!
Yes look up window's connection sharing. But you should be able to use it with your router.
If you are having trouble with network maybe post screenshot of network page on S3 and tell us your network info. Or use DHCP and it will set it for you, and find it connected to your router.
I would dive more into the networking issue then trying to use a laptop 24x7 just for networking. If you mean you only have wifi you can get networking adapters that take wifi and provide a lan cable connection.
Ok I tried something else.
I made a antenna from old wireless device I had.
I connected the S3 to my PC via ethernet, I had to change my my laptop PC adresse to 192.168.0.X to 192.168.1.X to access the S3 because my router is 192.168.0.1
After doing that I changed the LAN Ip adress of the S3 to 192.168.0.101 to make it accessible via my laptop without changing my ip address all the time.
I setup the wifi connection which worked the S3 is connected to the network.
Then I tried to setup the wwan interface, both with DHCP or static address and I just cannot access the S3 after deconnecting the ethernet cable from it.
I even see the device in my router DHCP list addresses but it remains unaccessable and doesnt hash...
And I changed back my laptop IP address to DHCP
Any tips here ?
