Topic: Got a Block Erupter cube but can't get setup screen (Read 1550 times)

This was not easy - I spent 6 hrs working on it, and I got bupkiss.

Removed internet from the router (my IP was 192.168.5.1), rebooted, set to static ip 192.168.1.1, pc was set to 192.168.1.101. REBOOTED

Modified the router to allow for ip addresses of 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.255 REBOOTED

Attempted to go to 192.168.1.254:8000 - nothing - thats what I got.

On my defense, I did notice something a little strange, okay, a few things.

1.  The ethernet connections between router and cube showed no indicator lights, while other devices did. Tried changing ethernet cables - 6 different ones).
2.  The two power indicators on the Cube were dimmed and no status light.  (Did I mention I had this working before?)

I also tried the trick of plugging the pc ethernet directly into the cube.  But this gave unusual results.  Checking 'ipconfig/all' showed that my normal ethernet connection to be disabled, and had NO ip address.  But this is what I got:

LAN2
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : TAP-Windows Adapter V9
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-FF-E8-0A-C1-29
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
 
LAN (disconnected)
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet <--- This is my network card

I can provide whatever information you may need to help me figure this out.

press and hold the reset button for a couple of seconds while the unit is running that will reset it back to the factory defaults

I've successfully got my current ASIC Miner Tube running on this network running great and mining away.

NOW ..... I have an older Block Erupter Cube I'm trying to configure....... does anyone know if/how to factory reset this.... I see the button but do I press while its powered on or off ?

I've got my networ running on 192.168.0.1 and I understand the Block erupter comes set at 192.168.1.254:8000 ....... now I've plugged the powered on BE Cube directly into my PC and switched the IPv4 over to reach it at 192.168.1.254 but can't seem to get to setup screen. (Hence why I'm looking for reset info) I'm not sure what the last owner had it configured as.........

I have a stratum pool ready to rock and roll as my new Tube Miner doesn't work with stratums.

Any help / ideas?
