Got your pm and images.
You cannot connect an ant miner S1 directly to the computers Ethernet Port via a Straight Cat5 cable.
The antminer is some kind of a computer and two computers cannot connect directly via Straight Cable.
For connecting two computer with a Hub, Router or Switch you can use Straight Ethernet cable and for direct connection you need Crossover Ethernet Cable.


That isn't always true anymore, most NICs have "automatic ports" (Auto MDI-X) that can adapt to function over a straight through cable. The whole idea of crossover cables is not relevant to 1000baseT connections either.
