Thanks for that, but I'm still baffled.
How do I identify the variables?
For example, it doesn't recognise -u for user or -p for pass.
An example would be excellent

Ok, so this is the command line:
poclbm-skc.exe http://user:pass@ipaddress:port
If your user name is sussex and your password is 123 you would add them to the url like so:
poclbm-skc.exe http://sussex:123@ipaddress:port
You are probably mining on the same computer that you have the daemon/wallet running so you would put in localhost or 127.0.0.1 for the address to point the miner at:
poclbm-skc.exe http://sussex:123@127.0.0.1:port
Then there's the port. The docs say 1986 is the default port but that's a privileged port so you would be better off changing it to something like 11986 so then we plug that into the port (keep in mind, you still have to have changed the conf file to reflect all these values)
poclbm-skc.exe http://sussex:123@127.0.0.1:11986
This isn't cgminer so there's no -u -p or -o flags
Thanks for taking the time to give me a good expanation, but it still eludes me.
I am now getting Errno10061 No connection could be made because the target actively refused it.

My firewall is off.
My command line is exactly as you typed it and my .conf looks like this:
rpcuser=sussex
rpcpassword=123
rpcport=11968
server=1
listen=1
maxconnections=200
addnode=162.243.69.185
addnode=146.185.129.70
addnode=173.64.68.108:1986
addnode=85.238.96.186:55748
addnode=75.183.73.182:1986
addnode=184.155.114.216:61040
addnode etc etc etc
It's late, I'm tired and I suspect I'm doing something stupid, thanks for any pointers

EDIT:
Hahaha, I knew i was an idiot, it was the port number, deliberate mistake

Give me your address and i'll fling you some coins when I find a block

Thanks!!!!
Glad you got it sorted out, you can send me a tip to MTaKWboqGfM9E38aQz6dNJniNfMfJUPZKV though it's not necessary at all. I was happy to help
