As your running a proxy the "server" you point the blade at should be the computers ip address the proxy is running on.

IP                             192.168.1.254     Default If I change this I lose the config page and it won't reload at new IP: hard reset required
Mask                             255.255.255.0
Gateway                     192.168.1.1
WEB Port                     8000
Primary DNS             192.168.1.1         Default
Secondary DNS              211.148.192.141   Default   
Ports                             8332,8332           Default
Server addresses              192.168.1.2,btcguild.com   Default but 192.168.1.2 is the IP of my computer
user:pass                     ASICMINER_test:melon,btcguild_donate:melon      Default

Two days of work.  Blade won't change IP.  Stratum Proxy returns errors.  BFG won't work right.  I thought of using a getwork pool.  But P2Pool need bitcoind and that won't synchronize on my windows XP.  I will Remove CGminer.  I also need to take a look at mingw BFGminer instructions.  Time to start over. Any fresh ideas?

well Gateway Defaults to 192.168.1.1 which happens to be the same as my computer IP address.  Did I do that right or wrong? Do I need to change the computer IP to another value?    WHen you say change the server to your computer do you mean change the PrimaryDNS to my computer?

Leave this as default.

you change the server to your computer as that is the proxy

STEP 1
FINALLY SUCCESS.  Well a little bit.  After contacting my ISP I was able to change my IP address in my router.  SO now I can use BE Blade AND connect to internet.  I also set a Static IP address.  I watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkXBBlyBLE and changed my computer IP as a I said.  Good thing I did because once my router IP address was changed I lost my computer internet.  So I went in and reset the computer IP settings to match and all is working.  

STEP 2 MASK 255.255.255.0 is default. I don't think I need to change this.

Step 3 GATEWAY  I have this set to my computer's IP address.  IS that correct?

STEP 4 WEB PORT  defaults to 8000.  Do I need to do port forwarding on my router?  If so my router says 'Enter the "Server IP Address".'  DO I enter the IP of my computer since it is acting as a server?  Or do I enter the Blade IP?
The router says "
 Enter the following information:

    External Port Start
    External Port End
    Protocol
    Internal Port Start
    Internal Port End
    Remote IP"

I think this would set up a port between my PC and my Blade.  So the PC is the server and the blade is the remote IP.  I know the protocol is TCP.  I guess I can try external port start/end 8000 and internal port start/end 8001.  But I don't even know what I am doing here.  SO if any one has a better suggestion I am all ears.

DO I need to port forward to my mining pools ports 3334,3334?  If so are they the server or the remote IP?

STEP 5 and 6  I just entered the primary and secondary DNS from my router.  Is that right?

STEP 7 PORTS  3334,3334 are the ports I want to connect to at nl1.ghash.io, us1.ghash.io

STEP 8  Server Address   nl1.ghash.io, us1.ghash.io

STEP 9  USER:PASS   richg21.worker1:,richg21.worker1:

This is my goal  "Stratum Servers: nl1.ghash.io:3334. us1.ghash.io:3333. Please use -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334 in your command line. You should name your workers richg21. (e.g. richg21.worker1). Workers are added automatically, you can use any/empty password. The minimum stratum difficulty is 16. Support:
[email protected]"  I need to forward this to the webmaster.

STEP 10  STRATUM PROXY
I have updated my .bat file to read "cd C:\Program Files\Stratum Proxy
mining_proxy.exe -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io -p 3334" I guess using -p is better than before if you read my previous post. BUt it still won't work.  Maybe I need a different version of Python???  Maybe my syntax is bad. I might post this issue in a mining trouble shooting forum.

I need to work on BGCminer some more but I think it is time for dinner.  SO thank you for tuning in.

rev2?

short out the pins next to the ethernet port. youll see it on the board. Do a master. But before you do that, try x.x.1.254:800 ... make sure they are powered..

Thank you sir,

Luck is going to be needed. As its a rather massive pain in the butt so far.

I have assigned all 10 Ip's yet 2 of them won't reload the config screen. Is there a hard rest to take it back to 192.168.1.254:8000?

no.. the molex is powering it with out the backplane.

I response to
"Hi guys,

Just received 10 blades a backplane and a power supply. Does the backplane replace having to do the wiring with the molex split?"

Yes your blades will be powered through the backplane.  Good Luck.

thanks to everyone that helped me.  I figured out what I was doing wrong.

Hi guys,

Just received 10 blades a backplane and a power supply. Does the backplane replace having to do the wiring with the molex split?

Start with the end in mind- this is my goal-
"Stratum Servers: nl1.ghash.io:3334. us1.ghash.io:3333. Please use -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334 in your command line. You should name
your workers xxxxxxxx. (e.g. xxxxxxxx.worker1). Workers are added automatically, you can use any/empty password. The minimum stratum
difficulty is 16. Support: [email protected]"

To this end I have acquired a new style 10Ghs blade and properly outfitted it in a case donated from a socket7 pc.  I have BCGminer and mining_proxy.exe
running (but with errors.)  I tried CGminer but BCGminer seemed simpler toconfigure out of the box for these blades.  Any opinions on which may better
suit this situation?  I guess I need to make .bat files for command line args.OK I am just figuring this out.  Don't laugh.  This might actually have been
easier in Linux even though I suck in Linux too.  I am using Windows XPsp3.

I am having conflicts between my Blade and my Cisco DDR2200 dual bonded dsl router since they share the same default IP of 192.168.1.254.  Furthermore when the blade is
on I can't surf the net.  I found the reset pads already - very handy.  Whenever I set the Blade IP to another address it is gone.  MY Cisco IP address is
192.168.1.254 with a sunetmask of 255.255.255.0. UPnP is enabled. DHCP server is enabled with a start IP 192.168.64, end IP of 192.168.1.253, subnet mask
255.255.255.0 , and a leased time of 24 hours.  (should I change that to 24000?)The router has Address Reservation (Static DHCP Assignment) which allows me to
reserve a specific IP address to a specified MAC address, such as 192.168.1.XXX to MAC YYY:YYY:YYY:YYY:YYY:YYY.  Will this help me?  If so what values for X and Y?

The Cisco DDR2200 also has
Incoming IP Filtering Setup
"If enable Incoming Filtering Function,all incoming IP traffic from WAN side to LAN side is BLOCKED. However, some IP traffic can be ACCEPTED by setting up filters.
Enable Filtering Function
Choose Add or Remove to configure incoming IP filters.
Filter Name    VPI/VCI    Protocol    Source Address / Mask    Source Port    Dest. Address / Mask    Dest. Port    Remove"

And it has MAC Filtering and System Management Sessions IP Access Control enable/disable IP In/Out

And Outgoing IP Filtering Setup
By default, all outgoing IP traffic from LAN side to WAN side is ALLOWED, but some specified IP traffics can be BLOCKED by setting up filters. Choose Add or Remove
to configure outgoing IP filters.
Enable Filtering Function
Filter Name    Protocol    Source Address / Mask    Source Port    Dest. Address / Mask    Dest. Port    Remove

I don't have much of clue if any of this is important but I do know resolving the IP has to be first, but I don't have much clue about the rest of
the Blades configuration either.  Mask - Can it stay 255.255.255.0 which is the same subnetmask as the Cisco DDR2200?  255.255.248, 255.0.0.0, and 0.0.0.0 are also taken.
Gateway - I read this is the same as the router 71.55.xxx.xxx but it does not really matter since I am using mining_proxy.  WEB port?
I don't even have a clue.  Should I set the Primary and Secondary DNS server the same as the router?  Or am I missing something about the process?  Ports? I'm clueless.
Server addresses: should they be nl1.ghash.io:3334., us1.ghash.io:3333?  Lastly the user:passis xxxxxxxx._WORKER_ID:pswrd,xxxxxxxx._WORKER_ID:pswrd which I think I understand.


mining_proxy.exe Questions:
trying to pass command in .bat file -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334
produces this error
C:\Program Files\StratumProxy\mining_proxy.exe\twisted\web\util.py:327: Deprecaiton Warning: Passing filenames or file objects to XMLFile
is deprecated since Twisted 12.1. Pass a filepath instead.it goes on to try to connect to ....nl1.ghash.io:3334:3333
What is the solution? Why is it adding :3333?Can I make a .bat file like this for bcgminer so I can skip typing in the pool and the user.worker and password? I guess I should read the forum more.  I had CGminer reading blocks and I can't get BCGminer to read them.  What is Icarus?  I need that don't I?  I guess I just need a little direction and guidance.  Figuring out .bat files is a little new to me and all this precise syntax should probably have come in the box with the Blade. LOL.  I am trying hard.  Forum please throw me I lifeline.

Anyone have an idea where to get a good bulk price on blades these days?

Anyone?

I bought the 1st batch of the V2 blades, blue PCB and with a socket for the fuses. There was a little plastic bag inside each box with a spare fuse, you could read "10A" on it. I bought 2 more at a local electronics shop to be safe  .

Later i measured 2 out of 6 V2 Blades how much Ampere they pull at 12V, its 6.5 to 6.8A so you should be ok with an 8A fuse, too!

8A/125V works ok. We resolder them on 3 units.

not having a fan

So do I need 10 or 8 amp/125V? In the previous post one user bought 10 amp from local store and then another user posted that he bought it from this link: http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/RF1952-000

What could cause the blade to slow down after couple of weeks? I factory reset my other blade and it's working fine. At one point it bounced up to 7GHS but now its down to 1-4GHS average again.

Ok I plugged mine the way the guide says and It gets really hot fast the chips do so what could be causing this?
