Before I added this AntMiner, I was running 4 BFL units off a netbook. The netbook has an ethernet port and a wireless adapter. Is there any way that I can connect the Antminer to my wireless network through my netbook? I'm not sure if it would be more reliable, but this would solve my current problem.
assuming you get an internet link through the ethernet, you should be able to use windows to 'bridge' the connections. to do so:
go to network settings page where it shows all the connections (should show lan, wireless, any usb modems, etc)
click/highlight both the wired and wireless that you want to bridge, and right click -> bridge connections
this should push the internet connection through the netbook to share with the bridged device.
I have something similar in my network right now since my cable line is down for a few days (and 800GH of equipment needs a connection!)
cell Phone- tethered via USB - USB port - Bridged with wired connection - ethernet to router's WAN - router provides LAN to equipment
the only issue is that the bridging does not let me visit the ip addresses of equipment on the router. to do this, i use the computer's wifi to connect to the router and thus see all other connected devices.
