HELP.. I have no idea how to use wireshark...  and cant find the ip address of the miner...
is there an easy way?

Trying arp -a from a Windows cmd box gives me three addresses on my network while on a linux machine the same command comes up with 7 addresses.  The three from the XP cmd box are two Raspberry Pi and the router gateway.  A Blade address as well as three machines running linux and samba aren't reported by Windows arp -a.  So, the question is, will a Jupiter respond to a Windows arp -a as the the pair of Raspberry Pi (one running minepeon and the other stratum-mining-proxy) do or as the Blade does?  The Blade isn't showing up arp -a on a Debian linux nor with arp -a in an XP cmd box.

Why not tell us all so it is here for people to link others to that have the same problem?

[itod]

omg, I'm dyin here....  Ive tried every ip address wireshark displays...its like reading greek or something...  I'm clueless...
the texas instruments ip doesnt work either
its running, nothing on the pool, and cant access the ip address... cause I cant find it

you cant enter your router???

its a routerless system...  ethernet switch bridged to wifi

Something is giving your network IP addresses, on some piece of hardware runs DHCP server. It can even be an ethernet switch, I've seen the simplest 4-port switches with DHCP server and web interface on them. Find such a device somewhere on your network an log into it's web interface, there you'll find a list of assigned IP addresses. However, if there is no such a device, which is possible in practice with network with all fixed IP address (highly not recommended for home use), any device needing and not getting the address will assign itself an APIPA address. You'll then be in trouble, then you'll really need a router to access your miner.

To cut the long story short: buy a cheap wifi/ethernet router like http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WR702N-Wireless-Repeater-150Mpbs/dp/B007PTCFFW, it's worth it's US$20 in gold for these purposes.

Try with a normal ethernet cable first before trying anything else.

subdivide and conquor

plug the miner straight into a PC that is running DHCP server (dhcpd for the linux folks)

arp -a did NOT show mine, via windows.

Phoenix... any progress?

I used NMAP.   

  nmap -sP 163.193.1.1/24

then grabbed the TI record.

  Nmap scan report for (163.193.194.169)
  Host is up (0.0060s latency).
  MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:Xx:Xx:Xx (Texas Instruments)

sucked... network had 500+ machines on it but was able to find it..

Nmap worked!  Showed the Blade as well.  It wasn't installed by default on my linux machines but worked immediately after installation.  I tried installing it on a RPi but failed as sources needed updating.  Ran update and am installing nmap now.  Probably should have gone with download source package so as to preempt all these additional packages that are time consuming and with limited space on the SD card.....

[DPoS]

he might have no DHCP on whatever he is plugging into

perhaps just give static IP... ah that's right cant do that until you log in first.. lulz from KnC  

if you are desperate, just plug a laptop directly into your miner and go at it

Yep, works just as well on RPi.  Interestingly both a debian machine and an RPi, both using nmap -sP 192.168.1.001. showed an unknown address in the DHCP range but not assigned by the DHCP server.  Google shows it has something to do with Windows and that the address is likely assigned to a device in the Windows machine itself.  (Hon Hai Precision Ind.Co.) manufactures the interface and Foxconn manufactured the mb.

Okay, so what the hell is the L/P for SSH access? No, it's not admin/admin.

I've logged in an verified I have 11 Jupiters running.

Looks like they are getting it operational!

ack 11 Jupiters ack..(clutches heart.....would be too beautiful to look at)   ack

That's probably the NSA's direct connect IP....

two Jupiters running here

only 1 of the 8 fans were still mounted.   I asked to just mail them unmounted to begin with and they said 'on no, we can't ship them unmounted...'  well they can't ship them mounted either

anyway..  got one running ~490 but the other just ~400 both running .94 firmware

they do run hot as balls - I took off the lid and put big fans pointing down on each miner.  Will keep improving airflow as much as possible

you probably know this but check the fan direction etc....just saying (its always the little stuff that gets me)

[Searing]

They were probably safeguards/margins in case some terminals did not work. In any case, no one promised 6 ports. I expect to be able to upgrade Saturn to Jupiter, but not further.

AHEM! This photo is what they describe as their controller board and you see 1 2 3 4 5 6
 https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-39

Yes, you see them on a picture describing the slogan. It does not say anywhere that all 6 will be in use.

I am more worried about those capacitors. Everything else seems like nitpicking.

So you don't care if they sell 7000 Jupiters in China in the next month or two? Maybe in China they have another bitcoin, unrelated to the one you mine?

KNC promised to take care of the customers who gave them a free loan of millions to start their business. This ^ does not do that.

I will admit I was pretty annoyed when I seen them open a Chinese version of the website.  I take it the network protection statement means nothing now?

On the flipside, how many Chinese can actually afford these miners?

 

do a google search on Chinese bitcoin...it is NUTS over there..the gov't so far has let BTC ride and with the central economy you have limited things you can invest in (ie real estate which is getting dangerous with a bubble) or bitcoin....so yeah.....when they see that knc miner and the price compared to what the Chinese used to pay etc..it is gonna go very very crazy imho...

not sure if this will help..i don't have a miner yet but grab'd this on a recommendation of someone here I think

I know a lot of people are bitching about how hosting is going, but they will probably be able to get the highest avg hashing since KNC would be fixing those up pretty quickly..  lightyears faster than someone who has one at their home or elsewhere

is that worth the price??  who knows...  place your chips

im pretty sure i saw the avenger post a few significant questions up recently that remain unanswered.

kano too, maybe

no progress... nmap says need to specify a host...i tried both desktop ip's, but that doesnt seem to give me anything.
there was a 0.0.0.0 ip address in wireshark...?  I tried everry ip address I found...the miner is running, the ethernet lights are pinging away..... huh...  I'm ready to get an ulcer

My miner wasn't listed on arp -a or wireshark either.  If windows, you can download a network scanner tool (http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/) and scan your whole range then try all the unknown IPs until it connects.  Worked for me at least.

Do you have a device on your network that is a DHCP server?
most any router will do this

You need one or the miner will not get an address to find.

A PC can become a DHCP server.

Once you have a DHCP server you can ask _IT_ for the addresses it has assigned.

[sbfree]

do these things default to a 127.0.0.1 address when no DHCP SERVER to assign IP addie???
