Here are the results when I ping the cube and from an IP scan.

This doesn't seem to even read the cube as being functional. If there weren't lights flickering I would have thought it was DOA.

Hmmm....that suggests it can't see your Cube at all—I had thought that because you sometimes got the beginnings of a webpage that there was something else at play.

Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about Windows networking, and since you have lights, it's most likely a networking issue. I can't see anything set up incorrectly in your screenshots.

Can you strip everything off your network except one computer and the Cube? No smartphones, tablets, or other PCs? If you have multiple Ethernet ports on your router, I'd start with plugging both your PC and your Cube directly into the router with no hubs or switches or anything.

Alternately, can you take your Cube to a friend's house and test it there? Bonus points if your buddy is a Windows guru.

If you can establish that it works *somewhere*, it should help isolate the trouble on your network. If, on the other hand, it doesn't work elsewhere, you can stop pulling your hair out about your network.

I wish I could be of more direct help.

And, I've setup my cube to: 192.168.1.200

.200, or pretty much any unused number below .254, correct?

How do I change what raskul is suggesting regarding the router - changing it from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.1? Sorry, I'm quite confused.

One of your earlier comments made it seem like you checked your router at 192.168.1.254—in other words, that your router had that IP address.

If that's the case, you really should change the router's IP address to 192.168.1.1. You would do so through your router's configuration page.

Please clarify that for us, BTW, so that we're clear.

Whether or not that's the case, change your Cube's IP address. Yes, you could use another number below .254, but (I believe) most of us in this thread are using .200 because that's what Dogie suggested. Being on the same page as the rest of us will make any future issues that much smoother.

So, change it to .200, and then let's see how things work.

Hi Brandon,

My router's IP address is 192.168.1.1

I have tried to trouble shoot for days but I can't seem to get to my cubes settings page.

I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something small but I'm pretty new to this so if you know what I did wrong and can explain like I'm 5 it would be appreciated.

I don't see anything wrong with your settings on your router, but please note that I haven't dug around in a non-Apple router in years. Speaking of which, I wonder if you should have static DNS servers set? As noted above, Google's DNS server at 8.8.8.8 is highly regarded.

Have you tried pinging your Cube? This would tell you for sure whether or not your PC is seeing your Cube. You can ping from the Windows Run app. I found a tutorial with screenshots for Windows 7 in case you are unfamiliar with this: http://www.wikihow.com/Ping-in-Windows-XP

The short version is you would type ping 192.168.1.254 in the Run app, and it will then spit some stuff back at you. If your PC can find your Cube, it will spit back something like:

Code:

64 bytes from 192.168.1.200: icmp_seq=0 ttl=100 time=7.777 ms

You can read more about pinging at that link, on wikipedia, etc.

If it doesn't see your Cube, it will timeout, or maybe give you some hits with really high times (in thousands of ms) interspersed with timeouts. That would mean you have some issues on your network, like an IP conflict.

I have tried to trouble shoot for days but I can't seem to get to my cubes settings page.

Here is a shot of the router settings:

Here is a picture of the usual error I see when I try to connect:

https://i.imgur.com/tHvEiua.png

Here is a picture of a screen I sometimes come across but nothing else loads:

https://i.imgur.com/CKL6W0D.png

The status light clicks on and stays solid red
The SB Pwr and Pwr lights are lit and solid green
The Ethernet lights are solid orange and flickering green.

I'm using a Lepa N500 5ooW power supply.

I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something small but I'm pretty new to this so if you know what I did wrong and can explain like I'm 5 it would be appreciated.

I logged into my router and checked 192.168.1.222 and 192.168.1.254 and they are both on 255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask.

I have a switch connected because I ran out of ports on my router. I originally had the Cube plugged into the switch but moved it to the router to simply things. Could the switch be 192.168.56.1?

change your router from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.1

raskul beat me to it, but also remember to change the IP address on the Cube to .200.

Thanks for your reply. Where am I changing the router from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.1.1? I see 192.168.1.254 in the IP for the Cube in the above screen shot. Is that what you're speaking of?

I would strip both cubes, label one MB "A" the other "B" and the blades "A1,A2 .....B1, B2" etc
then move all A's blades to B and B's to A, try that if the fault moves to the other MB you have a faulty blade, if it not you have a faulty MB.
If it is a blade that is faulty, plug each blade in and test till you identify the faulty one. Then hit up your supplier.

Thanks! That's a good plan.

And I'm a Mac guy, or i'd tell you how to check.

Should be easy to find, though. It's going to be with your network/Internet settings on your PC. By default, the Cube's subnet is 255.255.255.0—that's also very common default subnet for most routers. If your network/PC's subnet is different, change the Cube's to match.

Also, I'm still interested in that stray IP I mentioned above. I bet one of the many Windows folks in this thread can shed more light than me.

graphicsdump, I'm reading through the screenshots and not coming up with anything. Note, though, Dogie's suggestion to change the IP of the Cube to 192.168.1.200 to make room for other devices in the future. Best to do it now before you forget and wonder why the next Cube isn't working.

As for your current problem, is it possible you have an IP conflict—i.e. another device sitting on .254? that may be a silly question since you can see the Cube in your browser...

And just in case you didn't check, is your Cube on the same subnet as your network?

Edit: Are your DNS server and Proxy server IPs correct?

2nd Edit: In your first screenshot, you have something on your network with an IP of 192.168.56.1.

I'm not sure how to check these things myself...I'm a graphic artist by trade. I will have to look into checking the subnet, etc. Thanks!

Try setting your default gateway to 192.168.1.1

I have been trying to setup my cube with no luck. Anyone see any settings I should change here:

FYI, Windows XP 32-bit, downloaded the 32-bit mining_proxy.exe from the link on Slush's Pool.

Hi, I was wonderin if anybody could help me. ive followed all of your steps but i cannot connect. no matter what IP i try it wont connect. I have a airport time capsuel setp as my router if that makes a difference.

I am trying to connect on windows and mac and neither make a difference.

I have tried plugging it straight into my windows laptop and connecting but that doesnt work either.

Any help would be great! Huh

When you say "connect," do you mean that you can't see the Cube when you type in the default URL (192.168.1.254) in your browser?

If that's the case, start with your subnet. There are tons of references in this thread about making sure your network is set up on the same subnet that the Cube defaults to.

Good luck!
