I urge nobody to use this - I've downloaded it 4 times now & the MD5 checksum DOES NOT MATCH THE ONE POSTED WITH THE DOWNLOAD LINK
@Bitmain - did you post the correct MD5 number?

Has anyone tried the new firmware? https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201407180243004432lBQW28O0633
I found only one difference - default frequency for S3+ is 225M
still looking for others...

Thoughts on whether or not B8 will sell out? Just curious.

At current price, maybe but I don't think it will, depends on where diff is come shipping time. Strato
What am I doing wrong here?
Is your PC connected directly to the Ant? Are the Ethernet port lights on/blinking on the PC? Are Ant's fans on?
Sorry, I don't remember what the Ant's LEDs should be doing.
1. I've tried it directly connected and to the router. Result is so far the same.
2. The ethernet port lights are not blinking.
3. The fans are both on.
Do this with direct connection only. Try another Ethernet cable. If Ethernet lights are not on and/or the connection icon on the PC has that little red x on it, you don't have a connection with the Ant, and this is before it even comes to IP addresses etc. Could be bad cable, or bad Ant (I'm assuming your PC's Ethernet port is working).
Edit: one more thing to try would be to connect the Ant to the router just to verify if router's Ethernet port lights come on. If not then there might be something wrong with the Ant. Try resetting it.
Keep in mind that if you direct connect the ethernet cable you'll need a crossover cable or a special crossover adapter like this one for that to work properly. http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Cat6-Crossover-Adapter/dp/B00030BYJI/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409967632&sr=1-10
Ahh the good old days when I would carry a crimper around and just chop off the end and recrimp after I moved the wires. Thankfully technology has fixed that little headache as others have noted.
Anybody remember having to use terminators on those BNC cables? Pain in the a$$

Not true. I've been in IT for 8 years now, and I haven't had to use a crossover in probably the last 5 of those. Just plug any old ethernet patch cord, and it'll work.

That is no longer necessary unless you are dealing with old equipment that doesn't support Auto MDI-X. I'd be really surprised if S3 didn't support it.

How to launder Bitcoins easily. 
Good Sir,
Please remove either the BTC mining equipment or the washing machine/slop sink from that area ASAP. I assume it would be easier, less costly and far less time consuming to move the miners but that is not my decision to make.
Seriously...like right after you read this STOP whatever else you are doing and move those things before you
A) Kill someone
B) Burn your house to the ground
C) Destroy your equipment
D) A,B & C

We care about you not being electrocuted!
Also when I try to follow that step I go to Control Panel -> but there is nothing called Network and Sharing Centre
Click the dropdown in the top right hand corner that says "View by:" and select "Large Icons" instead. Then you will have a list of all the control panel options.Cheers.
I did those changes as mentioned in step 4 and then my internet stopped working and I still could not connect to the configuration online.
Also is there supposed to be a green/red light on? My lights are NOT on.

I love the response, I have no idea what I'm talking about and then.... "There is some inefficiency to account for in most PSUs but certainly not close to 50% on current PSUs. Most PSUs will happily run 24/7 at 80% (or more) of their rated watts. Some good quality PSUs will run 100%+." If you read any decent power supply review that includes the efficiency curve, you'd know I was talking about the peak efficiency. Please read up before slamming someone, your response shows you don't know what I was referring to, people that don't know what you're talking about might take your response as educated and I feel sorry for those that might take your word on something you don't know about. Here's a simple power supply review that shows the peak efficiency is at about 50% (this random review I picked shows 89% efficiency at 600w and 85% efficiency at 1188w, meaning it's losing an additional 4% as heat at the peak power), there are many reviews out there that show that. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=222
But buying a 1200w PSU to run at 600w will cost you far more than you save in electricity. It doesn't matter if you save $30/yr if the PSU costs an extra $200.
Hey guys I need some help just got a S3 and connected it to my PSU heard the fans turn on.
Connected the Ethernet to my cable modem and when I try to go to 192.168.1.99 it doesn't load

Try plugging the miner directly up to a laptop or PC like you would if configuring a router. Once you're in there then you can set a manual IP or have the modem DHCP assign one.
Hey thanks for the quick reply
I tried connecting it directly to my PC, then going to 192.168.1.99 and now I get "unable to connect to the Internet error"
You need to set a 192.168.1.x subnet address on your PC, e.g. 192.168.1.10, netmask 255.255.255.0.
Hey thanks for the quick reply
Is there any tutorial for how to set a subnet address? Sorry if it sounds like I'm a newbie lol.

Thanks I'll try that.

heres for win 7 http://portforward.com/networking/static-win7.htm
Ever heard of a modular PSU?
No, sorry, that's unfair. Good use of space. I would be a shame if Bitmain went all into clouds and stopped making miners like this.
