Change Static to DHCP but only after you enter your mining info or you will have to hunt for it depending how big your scope is.

Not a problem, because I can match the MAC address in the DHCP server leases. Also, since I plan to set these up in one LAN (at home) and move them to a data center (a different LAN), what I will do is specify the fixed IP for the units in both LAN's DHCP servers. This way I can just move them from one LAN to the other and they will have predictable IP addresses without needing to change the IPs in the S3s themselves.

For stuff like this, I prefer to use DHCP to dole out static IPs because it centralizes control over the IPs in the DHCP server rather than distributing the config across a bunch of machines. Just my administrative preference...

The whole WAN verses LAN setup is confusing. I guess the S3 is a router under the hood, instead of just a simple Ethernet endpoint.

I don't have my S3s yet and the manual is not very complete. Can you specify that the WAN connection is a DHCP client? I think that that would be selected under "Protocol" popup, which in the manual they show as "Static address".

Being able to use DHCP to specify the IP address would be helpful because initially I'll be setting these up at home, then moving them to a data center. It would be nice to just be able to just move these from LAN to LAN and have them work. I have access to both DHCP servers so I can configure static IPs in both LANs based on the S3's Ethernet MAC address.

The reason why I'm interested in all this rather than just waiting is because It's possible that the S3 units will arrive while I'm out of town. If that happens, I'm going to ask my son to set these up. I want to make the process as simple as possible, and DHCP will help with that.

Here is what it looks like, Very easy Just do not edit or change LAN:

Thanks!

So all you have to do is uncheck the "Disable DHCP for this interface" checkbox under the DHCP Server? Or does that option create a DHCP server (which would make no sense, but neither does the whole router thing).

That will enabled dhcp, but I would assign a static IP, not use DHCP. Even though lease times can be set to infinite where the lease will never expire, or get the MAC address and go into your router and have it assign the same IP , so then it is DCHP/Static

It is a linux based OS, Linux firewalls are setup that way, Like IPCOP, WAN & LAN. WAN is more secure setup because it makes use of the built in firewall, even though it is a LAN.

I suppose they designed these things so that they could be directly placed on the Internet. But then all you have to protect it is the password.

It's still a weird design choice. I'd be willing to bet that most people are going to put these units behind a router or firewall anyway. Certainly that's what I'm going to do. The only reason to have these units be a router is if they have to route traffic internally.

Maybe the boards themselves are Ethernet nodes on the internal LAN? If so, then I guess that would make some sense that there would be a router between the boards and the outside world. Ethernet for internal communication seems like an odd and expensive connection choice. Unless they wanted the ability to change the product configuration, like have a unit with 4 or 6 boards instead of 2.

They are seen as nodes

If we're just connecting 2 PCI-e cables to an S3 does it matter which PCI-e socket each goes in, i.e. front or back? I know that we need to plug a PCI-e cable in each side both left and right.

Correct.

Front or back?

I like mine to look consistent, but that is me.

Anyone else having this issue??

try to use a stable and better pool
maybe its because the downtime of ur pool

test it by pointing ur miner to other pool such as btcguild, eligius or anything Cheesy
