System: Windows 7 with 3120A, WinSCP and PuTTY both working with root account.
I am trying to ping the host and eventually the internet but so far this hasn't worked.
On the Xeon Phi, ifconfig shows:
mic0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <private>
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:64512 Metric:1 RX packets:16933 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12845 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3712426 (3.5 MiB) TX bytes:6368498 (6.0 MiB)
and on the host ipconfig shows:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 6: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : <private> IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.99 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 7: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : <private> IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.200 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
where connection 6 is the Xeon Phi and Connection 7 is the wi-fi card.
On the Phi I have also tried
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
which is the wi-fi router's gateway address to the 'net.
So far I can't ping out of the 3120A at all, although incoming pings from the host succeed.
Any clues or ideas gratefully accepted.

Solved. Windows firewall was blocking ICMP packets. Grrrrr.

Further update on this, for anyone else who is trying to get an X100 coprocessor working properly in Windows.
1. Fix firewall issues in Win7. Specifically, if any network is marked as "Unknown Network" it must be set to either Home or Work, otherwise the firewall shuts down all outgoing traffic. It can NOT be set as a Public network. In my case the VPN I use to remotely access and control crypto mining servers was causing problems.
2. Bridge 192.168.1.99 to 192.168.1.200 (Xeon Phi to Wi-fi card - actually a tiny USB dongle - under Win7)
3. route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (on the Xeon Phi)
I can now ping the Google DNS at 8.8.8.8 but still have no DNS available to the Phi.

Final step: edit /var/run/resolv.conf and add the line:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
DNS now works as expected. Job done.

Making these setting persistent between boots has turned out to be a tricky exercise. The trouble with the MIC is that it behaves like a RAM disk, it has no memory at all when booted.
The first step to rectifying this is to create a file in the host filesystem (under C:\Program Files\Intel\MPSS\filesystem) that contains the changes required. Using that directory as a base, we add a new file mic0\etc\init.d\user which contains the following:
#! /bin/sh # /etc/init.d/user # # Add an internet gateway route add default gw 192.168.1.1 # Add a nameserver echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
Then we add a new line to mic0.filelist:
file /etc/init.d/ipv6 etc/init.d/ipv6 755 0 0 file /etc/init.d/user etc/init.d/user 755 0 0 <---- ADD file /etc/hostname etc/hostname 644 0 0
Finally, rebooting the MIC shows these changes have been effective and that the files are present. Unfortunately I still can't see how to get this to apply automatically at boot, but at least now all I need to do to add the changes is issue the command:
/etc/init.d/user
from within PuTTY rather than having to remember all the gory details.

Just put that last issue to bed. I needed to add the following to mic0.filelist:
slink /etc/rc5.d/S01timesync ../init.d/timesync 0755 0 0 slink /etc/rc5.d/S80user ../init.d/user 0755 0 0 <---- ADD file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys root/.ssh/authorized_keys 600 0 0
Now when I boot up I can issue ping google.com immediately and it works. Awesome!
