I think some more information is needed here.

First, just to verify:
1) you have 2 "full" units and "several" standard units
2) the 2 "full" units have dowloaded the blockchain and are running as nodes
3) None of the units, full or standard are mining
4) You're using the supplied PSUs or have one or more PSUs supplying at least 250 watts per unit (80% rule)

If all that is correct, then the first thing I'd try is to simplify everything:
1) shut everything down using the web interface, then disconnect everything
2) select one of the full units and connect it to internet and power
3) Turn on the selected full unit
4) Describe the selected unit's behavior as it powers on including the "main" LED and the colored ones inside the unit. There's a description of what should happen way back at the top of this thread.



The two full units are in the midst of downloading the block chain. Started yesterday and is about 64% complete.

I am using the PSU provided by Apollo.   The Full units were not mining.  I did several restarts, shut downs, power cycle.  On a whim this morning, being Easter, after shutting it down, I got one full unit mining.  Then I saw your response.   So Thanks for validating I was doing.  I did make sure, I shut the node down first, before rebooting, or power cycling.


Now I'm running into the 8333 port not being open.  I did the port forwarding on my ATT BGW320 for 8333.  But I'm still getting 10/32 connections.

What else am I missing?
