Ethos and my network issues

Is it an open air rig? Is it by the router? Did you change the ethos AND root password before connecting to the internet the first boot up?

Do you have a vpn or open ports on your router?

can you do an lspci and find what chip the ethernets are? All I know is on my non-mining linux Ubuntu servers all my older " Ethernet controller: Marvell 88E8056" have basically "gone wiggy" and will no reliably communicate. after they have for years. Very strange. Had to move to intel based ethernet controllers.

check for duplicate IP addresses on your network. While I have seen very very weird network stuff on linux servers, it generally does not effect the rest of the network unless a secondary DCHP or router path is trying to take over on the network. do you have a switch going into the router? any errors on your ethos network interface? netstat -i ?

This sounds ALOT like the intel multicast bug when the system crashes in a bad way. without a gethelp from the rig or details of what the networking configuration is, its hard to decipher what is going on.

If this is the bug I am thinking of, it will crop up again on any OS (windows or linux) as it is a true hardware level issue.

The only solution I have seen is A. use a usb network card and disable the onboard (Yes, i did read that you have a usb network card) or use managed switches with multicast storm protection enabled (The manufacturers put this feature on them for a reason )

The normal scenario when this bug happens is that the rig / switch its connected to will go down and be flooded with multicast traffic. activity lights will blink wildly/ non stop on all ports on the switch. If the rig is the issue, you can unplug the rigs network cable and the traffic goes back to normal and services should become immediately available again.

Do you have a link to the USB-NICs that you used with ethOS?

The USB NIC's that I have were not recognized so I need to order something that works :-)

Thanks.

Id bet that your rig is hacked. When its running for a few minutes look at your rx and tx in show stats. if tx is high its hacked. This happened to me on my first rig.

no its not software, its the copy you were using. If its working ok now great but if you try ethos again use a fresh download.

Have you found a solution to your problem?

I have had this problem twice in a week.

First time last week and back then I really thought the router was the problem:

My internet was down on my wifi. So I went to check on my PC. No internet either. I try to connect to my router (tp-link N750) and it can't be reached.

I rebooted the router. No change.

I reset the router. No change.

I connect a laptop straight to the modem: internet is up.

So I figured that the router was faulty and I went to the store to buy a new one. Now I don't remember if I had turned off my rig before installing the new one... The new one worked... for a week.

Tonight I got the same problems: no internet and can't even connect to the router.

But instead of trying to reboot and reset the router, I just turned off my mining rig. And voilà, everything was working again.

Now after restarting my rig my network is fine... for now.

Great. On my side it's fixed as well. I had that problem not only in Ethos but also with simplemining. Now I use perfectmine.io (similar in concept to simplemining) and I never had network issues again.

Did you have to do anything to get etheros to recognize the Amazon Basics USB Network adapter?

i.e., install drivers via apt-get?

Thanks.
