Topic: Antminer S3 not mining (Remains on standby) - Urgent (Read 4668 times)

YOU ROCK! THANK you. I was looking for this wierd bit. A needle in a haystack of such a thread.

Very good catch.  You can do this and then change router back after and it should work if all done right.

It seems a lot of the mining gear is shipped at 192.168.1.* if you don't need to be on 192.168.0.* i would think about changing if you get many miners. 

You listed your problem in the first post:

IP of miners is 192.168.1.*
IP of your network is 192.168.0.*

Change your network to 192.168.1.*

Then, connect your S3 1 at a time and edit the WAN to use DHCP if you want your router to automatically assign the miners addresses... or setup the static IP addresses - ensuring each miner gets a different address (like 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102).

You could just change the protocol to dhcp, let your router set things up and use advanced ip scanner to find what address got issued. I did this for all my miners. Even after being turned off they kept the same ip addresses.

I'm really bad a network config but had them mining in a few mminutes.

Protocol - Static
IPv4 address - 192.168.1.99
IPv4 netmask - 255.255.255.0
IPv4 gateway -  192.168.0.1

This is not correct, the gateway cannot be on a different subnet.

Have you set the pool information under the miner configuration tab?  Your pool information might not be correct.

Also, try restarting the miner or powering it off and back on and see if it starts hashing.

Hello miners,

I recently bought Antminer S3 and after all required setting configuaration the miner remains in standby mode (Red light off and green light blinking per second).
Here is all required information:

--my ipconfig is: --

Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : westell.com
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::fd99:662:caa3:612%12

My router ip is 192.168.0.1


--ANTMINER S3 Miner's WAN Configuaration--

IPv4 netmask - 255.255.255.0
IPv4 gateway -  192.168.0.1

Also when I insert the ethernet cord from Antminer S3 into computer's ethernet port, will it start mining if the configuration is correct? Or I have to remove the ethernet cord from computer and insert it into router?

Please help!
Thanks in advance.
