1.Unplug your laptop from your lan and change the ip settings to the same subnet as your miner.
-done
2.Plug your laptop into your miner
-done
3.Log into the miner and change the ip settings to the settings on your lan.
-My problem is at this step, media/cable unplugged and I can't ping or open miner login page.
4.plug your miner into your lan
5.change the settings on your laptop back to the subnet for your lan
6.plug your laptop back into your lan
7.log into the miner on your lan and finish the setup
I am at step 3 above, media/cable unplugged and can't connect/ping the miner.
What's next?
3a. go to network adapters -> ethernet -> ipv4 properties -> set the laptop ip as 192.168.2.201 and gateway as 192.168.2.1 connect the laptop and miner directly with a single ethernet cord. go to 192.168.2.99 in browser and then change the antminer settings
3b. remember that you may need to restart your network service to make the changes take effect...in windows this might entail a reboot
- Once done setup/reboot, type ipconfig in cmd prompt, it's always [Media disconnected], no IP/gateway info , so no way to ping Miner at 192.168.2.99, no brighter light on both end of cable, feel like connection isn't working.
Any idea?
i think i would try without setting a default gateway since u are connected directly to the ant ...
default gateway is ip address of your router ..
maybe be easier if you put a router between the two then router will route the packets to ur ant ..
