So I really have to change their IP's? I cant just set them up individually and connect 2 or more that have the default 192.168.1.99 - have them mine but not be able to access them from a computer? Please confirm that I MUST change the IP's if I connect 2 or more. I think your "yes" above says I absolutely need to change IP's but just confirming if its best but optional - or absolutely necessary
So please bear with me - I am not really computer literate - just learning - hence what are probably basic questions here. I have read how to change to DHCP - yes I reckon I can do this. Then though I understand the IP's will float - how do I find them to connect to the S3's to adjust miner settings etc?
How do I "pin" them to the individual S3's?
Thanks for your patience

Now if I connect another or more S3's to the network adaptor via LAN cables - do I need to change their IP's - for eg 192.168.1.99 change to something else say 192.168.1.199 for each one apart from the original S3 at 192.168.1.99?
Nice thanks - much risk in updating firmware? Seen a few bricks from this one.
Yes. Set to any IP within your router's range which isn't being used by another device. .98 and .99 are probably unused.
But - If I give them each a separate IP address 192.168.1.xxx - then I should be able to access from my computer separately while they are all connected and mining? Is there much risk in changing the IP's if I stick to 192.168.1.xxx since 192.168.1.99 works now?
Yes, no (if you've got up to date firmware).Usually I would just try and see but I see so many horror stories on this and other threads - dont want to take any risks if I don't have to.
Absolute safest method is to set them both as DHCP so they'll accept whatever IP the router gives them. It will mean the IP to connect to them may float around a bit, but you can pin the IPs as preferred ones to the S3s so they won't move via your router.
