I am able to connect on my laptop(AMD), but not this PC which I recently purchased that came with a GTX1070 .  I'm guessing the issue must be specific to this computer based on that.  I forwarded the ports and it wasn't working.  I shut off the the firewall completely(for 2 minutes) and it still would not connect.  I'm guessing the issue isn't with the network as my other computer can connect.  Any help would be appreciated.  This is the batch file(irrelevant entries were changed for comedic value):

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool etc-us-east1.nanopool.org:19999 -ewal 0xc0FDa97f6d5AA4Bd97N789c07ed12b4041eD757B/cuckold/Yourmotherslover@eros.com -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

Whenever I run the batch file I get the following message using Claymore Dual Miner:  

ETH: Stratum - Cannot connect to us1.ethpool.org:3333
ETH: Stratum - Failed to connect, retry in 20 sec...

I have tried numerous pools.  I would really appreciate any help into understanding why this happens.
