Noob: Slush pool cannot connect using guiminer

[unclepaulyc]

I'm brand new to bitcoin...

Running guiminer 2012-12-03 and cannot connect. I'm able to login via the website, I've changed my worker password to be the same as my user password on the website.

My single worker is called worker1, on guiminer.exe I am using "myusername.worker1" as the username.
I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275, pretty sure it's supports Open CL.
I am selecting Slush's Pool from the drop down list.
I have also selected "other" and typed in manually "api.bitcoin.cz" with port 8332 -- didn't help

I have set the Bitcoin client path (although this is only for solo right? I really didn't need to do this for pooling?)

I'm using Win8 64

and I'm getting this..

I'm stumped...

Just a guess by looking at the output, make sure you might not have a space after your username.  It is showing xxxx.worker1 :xxxx@api.bitcoin.cz:8332 and I am not sure that space should be there after worker1.

[unclepaulyc]

You nailed it. I'm officially embarrassed

I'm getting mhash 53 if anyone's interested . . .

at 53Mhash rate, I doubt you'll get anything.

[unclepaulyc]

 . . really? Not even 1 / 500th of 0.1 % of 0.0001 of a Bitcoin?

Only doing it for fun / research anyway

Another noob here. No space after username however experiencing same problem, It worked fine last night on same network:

Same problem here sucks... Was working before ddos...

DDOS in the past couple weeks have really messed things up.

EDIT: Working now, just kept restarting the miner...

[Splicer]

It just keeps happening it doesnt matter if you reopen or even redownload I want to know whats up as it happens with 3 different pools I have tried too... What the hell is going on.

[Drizzle]

I've had no problem connecting to Slush's today. Using stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333.

Edit: Using cgminer, not guiminer. (Guiminer had very inconsistent MHash rate, a problem I don't have with cgminer.)
