I have been happily mining Eth for the past year with my two GTX1060 cards. Nothing major, but it trickled a few fractions of a coin into my wallet every week.
Now it has stopped and gives me this error: "Socket was closed remotely (by pool)"
I have checked and double checked my settings, updated Claymore, but still the same problem. I would really appreciate a solution.
Below is a screenshot.

Hello miner!
First, recommend you use ethermine or another pool, as ethpool is for solo mining so you will most likely make considerably less with that hardware.
Second, if you go to ethpool.org you will see that they want port 3333 for connection, and your screenshot shows 4444, so that may be the issue.
Third, any time you have a problem connecting to a pool, simply try another pool, even if for troubleshooting purposes only.

Let us know how you get on. Hope that this helps you get back and running again.

Thanks for that. It solved my problem. Now, I'm mining again!

In order to avoid problems associated with the connection to the pool servers, you can add backup pool addresses in the miner settings. It is easy to do in Claymore miner by changing settings in file “pools”.
