Ok, just want to make sure I got this right. It's been running for 5 minutes, no errors like last time and it says:

Starting DiabloMiner (GPU)...

Is this how it's suppose to look?

did exactly what you said, even tried it with a new worker. same error message:

[9/16/11 4:52:06 PM] ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: connect timed out

any idea why this may be happening? here's where i start

DiabloMiner set up wizard
GPU based Bitcoin miner.
-------------------------
Server host name or IP address [mining.bitcoin.cz]: mining.bitcoin.cz
Server port number [8332]: 8332
Miner username [xxxxx.xxxxxx]: xxxxx.xxxxxx
Miner password: xxxxx

Start mining automatically on log-in? [yes/NO]: n

did i do something wrong up there?

here are my system specs:
  Model Name:   MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:   MacBookPro3,1
  Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:   2.2 GHz
  Number Of Processors:   1
  Total Number Of Cores:   2
  L2 Cache:   4 MB
  Memory:   2 GB
  Bus Speed:   800 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:   MBP31.0070.B07
  SMC Version (system):   1.16f11
  System Version:   Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D575)

i think it's a pool...

mining.bitcoin.cz

i initially tried that as the host, now i am trying api.bitcoin.cz which is also listed on that site. here's what's happening:

brand new to bitcoin and mining, i tried to setup diablominer on a macbook pro (from what i understand, not the best performer)
