setting up 1th

[batsgirl]

I recently bought a 1th/s machine as an upgrade to replace my 100gh/s. It is lovely but I cannot connect to its IP address. No matter what I do or how I fiddle with it, it will not allow me to connect. All the signs on the machine (lights, noise, reaction to being plugged into internet and attempting to connect and mine) are working and showing me that it works, I just can't connect. I am turning to you all in the hopes that one of you can help me solve this. Included will be links to the page of instructions I was given and the ebay item so that you can see and maybe give me better advice knowing what I am working with.

Please help but keep your instructions as simple as possible as I am still a newbie.

also info from the seller.
Hello.

The sticker must have fallen off.

Here are a few things we need to do:
1) Make sure your router is configured for the 192.168.1.X subnet.  To do this please let me know the IPCONFIG of a laptop or desktop on the same network so we can see the settings.

2) Make sure the machine is powered on, connected to Ethernet, and the lights on the Raspberry Pi are turning on.

3) Download NMap tool for Windows from here: http://nmap.org/download.html

4) Open NMap on a computer using the same network and do a quick scan for "192.168.1.0-255" as the search criteria.

5) Check what devices are connected to the network and look for one called "Raspberry Pi"  This is the IP address of the machine.

6) Access the machine via web console like http://192.168.1.100

Open up router and look at connected devices assuming you are using 192.168.1.* and miner is to it will show in device list.

That is easiest way to find it.  Using nmap not knowing what your doing i highly don't suggest.  If use wrong IP your scanning the internet.  Reading your post i think device list is where you should look at not run a IP scanning tool.

If you can't figure it out doggie has many guides on how to setup or different machines.

It doesn't come up on the network map.

Looking at pictures of Ebay auction at least one is a standard 4 blade dragon.  It looks like there are different models of A1's on auction.  (different vendors)
 
You could try to flash a second SD card with a firmware for a dragon with known IP and see if that works.  Again I say flash a second SD card since you should keep the original.

Do you know of a page with a walkthrough on that? Also is there a way to change to IP address of new miner to the IP of the old miner? That would be great!

Yes it's on hardware forum.  If you search there is a Dragon guide.  The is one by pcfli with instructions I know because I uploaded a image to it .   

If you search you will find it and instructions, make sure to use 2nd sd card 8 GB or bigger with it.  Don't use original as if this dosent work we want to still have that card.
