Hi everyone! I'm not a total newbie to mining bitcoin but I'm still a beginner, and probably out of my depth here. I previously set up four USB strips of 9 Sapphire Miners each and have had those running flawlessly at ~12GH/s for the past two months. However, I decided to pick up a 30-38GH/s block erupter cube from JonesGear recently and can't for the life of me figure out how to get it connected.
My physical setup seems fine; all lights are on and the fan is running. I'm using a USB to Ethernet adapter to connect directly to my PC, but when I try the 192.168.1.254:8000 address it always times out. I tried connecting to a different PC, as well as directly to the router with the same result. Firewalls are temporarily disabled on both computers and the router itself.
My router's IP defaults to 192.168.0.1 but I figured I could change the cube's address to a 192.168.0.x if I connected to my PC first, but as I said I can't connect to get into the configuration settings at all.
Any advice?
