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

cant help you if you wont answer my pm.

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

127.0.0.1 is only for devices to talk to themselves (localhost)

a few of us said months ago that it should ship with a static IP but KNC wanted to have Plug-n-Play!!

you need to get a DHCP to deal an IP to the miner.   What exactly (model, brand) switch you have it plugged into?

Try ipconfig /all and you'll probably see the .1 is  your gateway, the .51 is assigned to the machine you're using.  .255 should be the broadcast address of the subnet.  As I understand bridging, if done properly, the computers after the bridge should have addresses in the same subnet as the .1, .51 and .555.  So, the bridge isn't setup correctly I think.

Let me re-phrase the question, what happens or what IP address is assigned to a KNC Miner, if these isn't a DHCP server on the network?

What would be the resolution to connecting to the KNC miner at this point. Thanks.

do a reset of the machine. aparently there is a little round button to reset it/

HARD RESET
The miner is equipped with a hard reset button. This is located next to the power
input on the controller board. To perform a hard reset on the miner you must
press the button 5 times consecutively, wait 5 seconds, and then press the button a
further 5 times. Please note that the miner will not restart.

Nmap worked for me when I specified the gateway, properly the lowest address in the subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.1.  So, I don't have the graphic in the reply box but wouldn't you use:

nmap -sP 192.168.43.1/24

I don't have your answer but I think you wonder if some oddball IP address is assigned when there isn't a valid DHCP server or even an internet connection as happens in Windows.

heres what the Texas Instruments device comes up as on wireshark...

[sbfree]

why are we talking about TEXAS INSTRUMENTS??

I think I read somebody else having a similar failure which resolved when he replaced the cat5 cable.

There is a DHCP server working as two of the base network (192.168.43.0/24) addresses are dynamic not static.  The server should assign addresses in its range to the bridged devices.  So, again, I think the bridge isn't set up properly.  If the bridge is set up properly he should be able to run a cable to the bridge from a laptop, boot the laptop with DHCP for it's interface IP assignment, and get assigned an address on that laptop in the 192.168.43.0 network, say 192.168.43.100 which he would ascertain by bringing up a dos cmd box on the laptop and using ipconfig /all.

Because they manufactured the part that returns the MAC address, so it bears a number in their assigned range.

I'm beginning to think that they setup a Mercury instead of a Jupiter....

This is a hosted Jupiter that came online today.  Has anyone seen a Jupiter with 3 bad boards modules?

Ipconfig /all is a good command to know.  I taught my boss that at work years ago when he was having a problem with the company network.

a.) Linux assigns localhost:  127.0.0.1
b.) There is no resolution.

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

Are you joking? Don't you watch any financial news? The Chinese economy is off the hook. They do have taken all the manufacturing that countries like USA used to do. The Chinese are cash rich. They have sh!t tonnes of cash to spend.

Their great trade surplus doesn't mean their people are well off.  The majority work for pennies on the dollar when manufacturing stuff for the rest of the world.

Check out Shanghai or Beijing sometime. Or just google downtown of anyone of these two, and repeat that again. And note that while they are two cities, there's tens of millions of people in each. Not to mention Hong Kong, Shen Zhen, or other big tier two cities.

Trust me, while the majority might be working for pennies on the dollar (in tier three cities mind you), there is absolutely no shortages of rich people in China.

(Edit: Though I just checked, its closer to 6k for a Nov Jupiter for China KNC due to tax and whatnot. However the hype machine is even crazier there)

Are you sure a bridge is what you want?  Perhaps you want a repeater.  Linksys shows bridging to be adding ports to the original router.  Your router might have a 4 port switch on the back and be able to assign any number of IP address via DHCP using wireless.  Linksys, Cisco, shows a bridge as taking a second router attaching it to the first adding its 4 port switch to the first giving you 8 RJ45 ports on the base network.

If  you're trying to connect a wireless router in one room to a laptop in another and have that act as a bridge, I think you need to use something like DD-WRT and make a repeater rather than a bridge.  The laptop acting as a router on its own would assign addresses to a network distinct from the one in the other room and relay the data.  But I'm guessing here.  I had only looked at it briefly the other day after spotting an option on a Linksys wireless router that said BRIDGE.  Dropped my whole network trying that and didn't hash for a while.  Decided I might do it but not anytime soon.
