Hello
I am also new to mining and wanted to say Thank you Dogie for setting up this post and to all others for there helpful answers. I have an S3+ and had trouble getting it to mine I had a friend who also has the same miner come over to help me. After quite a while of banging our heads he figured out in miner config of my s3+ It wont recognize any input in the form of stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 address (for example). it will only recognize ipb4 net addresses 127.0.0.1.53(for example) Any input from the group? thanks in advance hope i worded the question right.
Your DNS Server is probably not working.
Are you using DHCP or Static IP ? If Static, make sure you have the right DNS Server set, you can use 8.8.8.8 for Google's DNS.
If DHCP, check your DHCP Settings, they should usually automatically deliver a DNS Server.
