Thats what i was afraid of if i do a factory reset. Then i wont be able to access it at all and may not mine at all. Just wondered if anyone else had this problem. Thanks
after a factory resete use this
http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/index2.php?utm_expid=62919999-37.9-pL9-aBTpGQQqARa3mUoA.2&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.comto find the IP of the miner because reset sets it to DHCP which will auto the IP address of that the miner and it will stop mining on your pool because it's on defaults which is set to bitmains pools or setting, it should say some thing like Texas instruments when you run it for the S5 right click that and copy the IP from the list then go to your browner and right click on the HTTP bar then paste that it should set you in the s5/miners GUI after the reset. or do a search to see what the IP of the miner is now it sounds like you can't access it because your not putting in the right IP ? .
The other problem you might be having is two miners are on the same or sharing the same IP which some times might seem like they are both mining but Polly are not
. that's why do a factory reset it gives that miner it's own IP address then use some kind of IP scanner to find that miners IP.
or take all your other miners off line and only run that one on your network then try to access it with that IP.
Then if that works i would set to it to it's own static IP under the network tab and do that on each miner it helps if there on DHCP change them all to there own static ip no guessing or mess up. just remember what miner used what IP and don't share them again or your back were you were if that's the problem. i would Use IP's over 200 something like this
192.168.1.200
192.168.1.201
on bitmian site there is a IP searcher i don't care much for it never seems to work right for me so i use the one linked above.
