Does this answer your question? [How to setup bitcoind 10.2 for solo mining on LAN with Bitmain S3](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38487/how-to-setup-bitcoind-10-2-for-solo-mining-on-lan-with-bitmain-s3)

bfgminer will not run at all I found another way on bitcoin talk where you make a stratum proxy on a raspberry pi and point that at your computer and point your miner at the raspberry pi. I will test this method to see if it works.

I used https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417997.0 and Solo Mine with an AntMiner to start.
The issue I need solved is getting my Antminer to connect to my Bitcoin Core so I can solo mine using my Bitcoin Core instead of connecting to CKPool or other solo pools.
