how wide is the address space of your router (some routers are set for say 192.168.1 - 50, so if the Ant is set to a fixed IP of 192.168.1.99 as per the sticker it might not be 'seen' by the router). Sushi's guide https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/setup-troubleshoot-bitmain-antminer-s1-180ghs-miner-344970 points to some IP scan software (http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/).

Try to see if the wifi is active (there are simple wifi scanners such as inSSIDer that might help http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/). Can you swap the control board with a known working Ant?
If you are trying to run it standalone against a PC, you should set the PC temporarily to a fixed IP in the same space as the Ant and connect them with a crossover cable, or through a hub/switch. An ethernet switch would give you a clue if the connection is alive through the status lights of the port that the Ant is connected to. If all else fails, try to contact Bitmain (see email addresses at https://www.bitmaintech.com/about.htm)

Good luck

i know that it is not seen via the ip pfsnece is not picking it up
ive scanned the ip range and tested a couple of other common ip router ranges.
the switch is showing that it is connected.
i have contacted bitmain with no luck.

Some units default to 192.168.0.99 address.

Well it all depends on who you get it from. Some actually offer replacements.
But with the antminers costing like $250 now, I doubt they will be offering anything for anyone at them prices...

BEWARE

Ya guys, its not just you. I just got an ANT from BitMain with a bad Ethernet port as well.

My friend also got an ant with a bad Ethernet port a few weeks ago.

They are clearly shipping out bad control boards over the last 2 months.

They have to be damn well aware that they are not working. If they truly plug in every ant for quality control they know for sure that the ant does not work and they ship them out anyways.

I am also noticing that most of the bad control board complaints are coming from the USA, including myself and my friend.

Are they just shipping there bad shit knowingly to us Americans or what? Do I smell a lawsuit?

To weird to live To rare to die

Sold me one, it wouldn't hash, finally got a hold of them, was asked to disassemble hashing boards, I complied sent both boards and controller and threw in the two 8pin ribbons the other four pin ribbon. Two weeks later get back same equipment, thermal paste a and all still stuck to it minus the ribbons. Now what ? Can't even see if they've actually replaced the equipment because the ribbons were not sent back. Bullshit if you ask me. Was reading the Bitmain setup and troubleshoot thread. Guess what I'm reading other people with exact same hashing problem.... wonder if they will ask them to disassemble the rig too...sadly disappointed in my 650 dollar loss

so who do i contact to get a replacement?

Hey man,

Sorry I missed you on IRC I've been so friggin swamped lately. From what the fellas are saying, it does sound like it could be a bad control board.

It's a bad control board. It's not finishing the boot cycle.

The normal boot cycle is slow flash (1Hz) for 5-10 sec, fast flash (2Hz) for 5-10 seconds, then it will begin mining if it's configured right and has internet connectivity, at which point the control board LED and both blade LEDs will flash very rapidly (30Hz).

If all you're getting is the slow flash, it's not booting.

You can try disconnecting each blade from the control board, and can also try moving the control board to where it's powered by the second blade instead of the first. None of those things helped my unit that had the problem though.

Since I bought mine from Sushi, he helped get me a replacement board. You'll probably have to contact Bitmain directly for yours. Or you can message this guy and ask if he's got any more: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-S1-control-board-/231196026342

Couldn't agree your more! definitely control board problem

lets face it, a bunch of these rigs are just shit.

the first ones i received have all been solid, but the later ones have ALL been wank.

they stop mining and beep for no reason.

they fail to restart mining without reboots/reconfigs

meh.

standard 192.168.1.1

I guess you have tried to change that to 192.168.2.1?

Neither of the networks I have tried connecting it to didn't work. One is a tp-link router and a pfsence setup

Are you using a crossover cable?

Yes the Ethernet side light does come on.

Please listen to me, push the reset for more than 10 sec.
