That is working better but what BFGminer is hashing on the same computer using the computer's IP address, it is giving these errors:
Stratum connect failed with TLS to pool 0: could not resolve host: 192.168.1.123

With windows firewall off, I still cannot connect with Antminer.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

# json_rpc_call solo mining with bitcoin running on Windows 7 for antminer

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-26)

I setup BitcoinD on a Windows 7 PC. I configured for defaults except user/pw and `rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0`. I have also tried `192.168.1.*` with no luck.

I ultimately want to use an Antminer to connect to it for solo mining, but cannot use it for anything other than mining on the same computer on which it is running.

WORKING: using bfgminer with the following command line:

```
bfgminer-5.0.0-win64\bfgminer-5.0.0-win64\bfgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u rpcuser -p rpcpw

```

NOT WORKING:

```
bfgminer-5.0.0-win64\bfgminer-5.0.0-win64\bfgminer.exe -o 192.168.1.123:8332 -u rpcuser -p rpcpw

```

The only difference is the IP address where 123 is my IP.

Error: "json\_rpc\_call failed, retry after 30 seconds"

I looked at firewall and it has entries for "Bitcoin Core"

`netstat -a` output:

```
0.0.0.0:8332
0.0.0.0:8333
127.0.0.1:8332
192.168.1.123:8333

```

Antminer says pool is dead.

How do I get another computer or Antminer, on my network, to connect for solo mining?

BFGminer needs to use stratum (bitcoin core doesn't)

Add --stratum-port=3333 to your bat file with 192.168.1.123:8333 then point your antminer at 192.168.1.123:3333
