yeah what else can we try.
the eth cable goes to a switch?
do you have a pc or laptop to the same switch.
and of course does angry ip or advanced ip show the range
say
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.255
with no new ip?
did the fault light ever fire up and blink?
or the light below it
Did the seller say he did stock firmware from bitmain?
or did he have after market firmware.
if they had loaded aftermarket it is hard to know what to do since you do not know what is loaded.
My network (Xfinity) is 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254, The miner is going directly into my router, and same with my laptop they are both on ethernet. today (5/21/2021) I have searched with Angry IP Scanner, Advanced IP Scanner, and the IP report tool and does not show anything, no new IP addresses.
RIGHT as soon as I plug it in to an electrical port, the Fault light will blink for about 0.5 sec and then stop, the "Normal" light does not blink at all.
Seller said he had it on stock configuration and then suggested the Blissz configuration.
OK, first rule is don't panic. Make sure you are using Firefox browser to ssh into the miner. Some people try Google Chrome or others and they simply won't work. Now, make sure you have not installed firmware. If you botched a firmware install, you bricked the miner. It can be fixed if that's the case so again, don't panic.
Now if you've not played with the firmware it's likely the problem you're experiencing is due to your network being a little off the common ip subnet settings. That's ok too. Most networks use something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to get into your router. That's why when the Antminer is reset to default it usually goes to 192.168.1.99 but your network is on a completely different subnet so you can't see it. The only option you have is to use a network connection (hard line) directly from your PC into the Antminer. Once connected, open firefox and type in 192.168.1.99 and press enter. When the menu comes up for the Antminer the user and password is root.
After you get into the miner you'll have to assign the miner a static ip on your network manually. Just click thru the menu and you'll see where everything is. You'll also need to input your router and DNS server settings/addresses so make sure you have all that stuff written down or printed out before you begin. Network info is available in your network settings section in windows, you know the drill. Remember, once you click apply, the network settings you specified will take effect. You'll have to reconnect at the new static ip address you set on your network.
Now, after you have successfully assigned a static ip to the miner, again select an ip on your network, you'll click apply and the miner will restart. Disconnect from the miner and reconnect to your network, reconnect the miner to your network and turn it on. Open firefox and type in the static ip you assigned to the Antminer. After the menu opens you know the drill, root, root etc. Set up your mining pools click apply, the miner will restart and begin work.
