Hmmm.. how are you getting this to work with ccminer? My understanding is that the current wallet doesn't support getwork anymore because it's based on a later version of the qt wallet, and ccminer only supports getwork. I've also read the the asterisks are no longer supported either in the rpcallowip field.
When I follow your advice, I get:
HTTP request failed: Recv failure: Connection was reset
get_work failed, retry after 30 seconds
I had the same error message, but when I updated the wallet the message disappeared and the solo mining started.
Btw, I'm using ccminer skunksp-mod8.
I've just checked and it works fine. Here is the log:

UPD:
As for the asterisks, I tried IP-address, but it didn't work, so I used * and it worked.
