to my opinion all 3 ants is kind of difficult to be fried.
put in your computer ip 192.168.1.50  , subnet 255.255.0.0
connect an  ethernet cable from the antminer to your computer DIRECTLY.
ping 192.168.1.99 . you should have a reply.  this ip is the most common for antminers.
When you have your reply, login and configure it according to your needs

Thanks for the response.
I do try that with
IP: 192.168.1.88
Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (not 255.255.0.0)
Gateway/DNS: 192.168.1.1
and ping 192.168.1.99

The thing is it worked at the beginning, but it suddenly stopped working.
I do suspect that it is rare for all of 3 miners to be fried at once.
Is that anything I should check/suspect?
Thanks

One of mine did this same behavour after a power failure.  I reset it, did not help at first.  Then I turned it off for an hour, that helped. 

Thanks for the response.
I gave them enough break, but nothing changed.
Fortunately, I saw some dimming lights in RJ45 Port for few sec.
Hope every thing is fine.

You have to describe EXACTLY what you are doing if you want to get effective help, then you need to follow the instructions.
The troubleshooting should be done in the simplest setting possible, that is one PC to one Antminer, direct LAN connection, no router involved.
1) Change your PC network connection from DHCP to fixed IP: The PC or laptop should be set to a fixed IP address (not DHCP)  Assuming that you are running Win7 and connect through a wired LAN: go to Control Panel, Network and Sharing Center, on the left side click on 'change adapter settings', right click on the adapter (called something like 'local area connection xyz'), click on properties (you need to have admin rights), select internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4), click 'properties', write down the current settings, then change the setting from 'obtain an IP address automatically' to 'use the following IP address', then enter a fixed IP address which is different from the Antminer one, but on the same subnet, for example 192.168.1.50. 
2) Disconnect your PC from your router/network. 
3) Connect your PC directly to the Antminer S1 being tested using either a 'crossover' LAN cable or 2 normal LAN cables and a Hub/Switch (which is not connected to the rest of your network, only between the PC and the Antminer).  Use only LAN cables that you have previously verified to be 'good', or test them before use with a LAN cable tester.
4) Restart the PC (to make sure that it gets the fixed IP that you nominated in step 1).
5) start the Antminer S1.
6) On the PC start your browser and enter the Antminer's default IP address written on the sticker on the front panel of the Antminer (usually 192.168.1.99).  This should bring the gui (graphical user interface) page.
7) If it doesn't: Press and hold the small reset switch on the Antminer controller for  at least 3 seconds.  Try to refresh the gui page on the PC.  If it still doesn't come up over a few tries and a few minutes, then try cycling the Antminer's power off, wait for at least 30 seconds then turn on.

Report everything that happened (including screen shots if possible)
If you are successful, then change your antminer's settings to whatever you require.  Note that the main LAN interface that matters in my experience is the WAN (wide area network).  It is better to set it to a fixed IP address within the range supported by your router.  Once you finish changing your settings you can connect the Antminer to your network, change your PC back to original DHCP settings that you wrote down in step 1).

Maybe you can try to change a switch to try?

I don't know if there are any known issues with the S1's, but sounds like on-board NIC is fried to me.  Unless it's your router, try plugging that cord into a laptop or something to see if it works there first, if not, it's probably the NIC.

Thanks for the response.
Cable works, but is it possible for NIC of all 3 miners to be fried?
Anyway, if this is the case, what do I need to do?

Could you also explain why it happened and what I needed to do to prevent it?

Try resetting it to default. I had to reset my last S1 three times before it came up. Reset it. Cycle the power and see if it comes up.

Hi, I have trouble running S1.
I bought 3 used S1, v1.5.
As for now, I can't see any blinking lights from RJ45 ports and I think that's why I can't connect to 192.168.x.x.
I don't know what went wrong since I could see the light blinking when I first got it. (I could connect to 192 at the beginning although I couldn't run the miner anyway.)
Could you give me some assumption what I did wrong?
Thanks
