So I left it be overnight, now I cannot log into the interface again.
I get the the page to enter the password and then I either time out or whatnot, connection is lost.
I keep trying and trying only to get the same message or get to the black screen then when I enter the password, boom, connection lost.
I've tried different ethernet cables.
Thing is, I think my computer has too many internet related settings so it could be conflicting somewhere.
I also don't have an IE browser which I think many were saying to use that one... I just don't like it, too slow, too bulky.
The miner seems to be mining already, the fan is running fast/er and a decent amount of heat is coming out the end of it.
@Dogie - I'm not sending anything back, I ordered mine from the manufacturer directly. If BitMain can't offer a working product out of the box and adequate level of service I will just write it off as a loss and throw it in the garbage and deal with another manufacturer who values my business. Tis the second time I get screwed by BitMain in less than a month so I'm already not too happy with them. I've more conviction to make it work, it's one thing with me, if something don't work, I'll keep hacking until it works.
I'll download IE then if that don't work I'll try using another, less busy computer to do set ups.
Also the lights on my laptop at the Ethernet card, the green is on but the orange flickers, which leads me to believe it's something with my computer and not the miner. The one green light on the miner is always flashing...
Surely someone has had this issue before. I don't think it's a miner issue as it is a local computer issue.
