Worst case to find your IP address (I had to do this with all of the A2 units I bought from Zoomhash):
1) Pull the SD card
2) Mount it as a drive on a Linux machine
3) poke around in the rc.d directories off /etc
4) ONE of them will have ip address(es) in it
No, I don't remember the exact file offhand, and I'm not in the same state with my machines right now to go looking for it.
network IP information is in
/etc/network/interfaces
If it's set to a static address, or you want to change the address or set it to DHCP this is the file to do it. I set mine to dhcp by editing /etc/network/interfaces to reflect:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Finding the IP address from another machine:
If I'm running a linux machine, I use 'sudo nmap -sP 192.168.0.0-254'. You would need to change it to your network, as it might not be 0.0-254 but 1.0-254.
If I'm running a windows machine, I use a program such as
Advanced IP Scanner, as I linked in post #110 of this thread.Also, the issued DHCP address can usually be found in /var/log/syslog on the miner, the last line in this snippit:
