Problems with GUIMiner-scrypt alpha

[gingerbaker]

I recently started mining litecoins as it seems the best way to put my two 7770s to good use. I am running Win 8 x 64 and installed GUIMiner-scrypt alpha which is suppsedly built on the "standard" gui miner but allows for litecoins. Anyways, after inputting my info for the host, username, port, pass, etc for ONE of my cards, it started to work (albeit after a half hour of a status saying "Connecting").

When I set up a miner for my 2nd card (they're identical MSI R7770s), I used identical data (except for the worker name obviously) and it is still saying "Connecting".

Why does this app take so long to connect or start? Every 10 seconds or so the console is saying:
"*workername*": 19s0:0.000 (avg):(0.000h/s) | A:0 HW:0 WU:0.0/

My first worker is hashing away rather nicely while my second one with identical info is stuck on reading "Connecting"

Thanks for the help.

Since this got moved and it ended up on an old page, I'll bump this.

The problem is still happening. I've tried different servers and still have the same issue.

Here is a photo of the console log:

Unbelievable. All I had to do was stop both miners (1st was hashing, 2nd was "connecting) and then start the 2nd miner 1st, then start the 1st miner and both are working. I have no idea why that was the only way to make it work

I was even trying cgminer to no avail.
