(added a bit)

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.

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.....

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.

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

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

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

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

kano too, maybe

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