Trying to setup new machine to mine, having issues.

[osb40000]

Using newest version of guiminer that I've used on several machines with 6670's, 7750s, and 7950's and with this current box using an 7870 and AMD's newest catalyst suite I'm having no luck.

Giving me the following errors.

Any help is appreciated.

I've installed the SDK runtime. I basically set everything up the exact same as the past six boxes I've done and yet this one is giving me issues where the others were fine.

Try CGminer

[osb40000]

I tried CGminer. Still having problems. Very strange.

What driver version are you using? Does your card work properly otherwise? Try another miner program and pool.

Using the catalyst 12.8 package straight from the AMD website.

Try rolling back to 2.6?

[legolouman]

This is very strange. Try running it without flags?

I know nothing about error codes, but would guess 8332 (bolded) is related to bitcoin connecting on port 8333.

And that HttpTransport.pyo (bolded) implies a networking error of some type is crashing.

Except that slush's pool does operate over 8332

Is it possible your firewall is being a pain?
