I have an S9 that I have been trying to connect to various pools, unsuccessfully.

It seems that any pool with port 3,xxx will not connect. For example,
stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333
stratum+tcp://sha256.usa.nicehash.com:3334
stratum+tcp://sha256.eu.nicehash.com:3334
stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333

All do not work and show as dead.

However,
stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:443
stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:25

Both work fine.

I have 10x D3 and 10x L3+ miners arriving and I want to mine on Nicehash, but am worried that I won't be able to connect to the stratum pool when they arrive.

1. I have updated to the newest Bitmain S9 firmware.
2. I have forwarded port 3334 on my router.
3. I have disabled IPv6.

Using a Windows computer on the same network, I do get a ping response when I type in:
ping -n 50 -l 128 speedtest.usa.nicehash.com

But I don't get a ping response on:
ping -n 50 -l 128 speedtest.usa.nicehash.com:3334

Any other thoughts would be very helpful!

I just experienced this and came across your post.

The problem I had was I included a dash in my worker name.  Try again with just numbers and letters if you haven't already.

EG:

subaccount.001

not:  subaccount.S9-001

This looks like a firewall problem. Port 443 is very common (used for SSL and HTTPS) and is allowed through almost all firewalls but port 3333 is not. Keep in mind that most run-of-the-mill / low-end routers and firewalls will pass almost all ports and therefore work fine for mining. If you are running a higher end firewall, then you typically must configure it manually to allow ports like 3333 and 3334 to work.

A standard home firewall blocks incoming traffic. Outgoing connections would not be affected. If you had a high end router that could do more, you would know how to use it already and have discounted this as a possibility.

You arent getting a response when pinging with "ping -n 50 -l 128 speedtest.usa.nicehash.com:3334". Of course you arent getting a response, you dont ping ports, you ping IPs.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

As Fanatic points out, you cannot ping to a port but you can ping the address or the hostname i.e. "ping stratum.antpool.com". That will tell you that the host is alive and reachable from your network. However, this test will not test the connectivity to port 3333 or any other port for that matter. You can test connectivity to specific ports using the "telnet" command.

Example "telnet stratum.antpool.com 3333 <enter>". If you do this, either one of two things happens - you get an error message of some sort (a windows machine will give you a "connection failed" message), or you will get a connection (generally indicated by the screen clearing and returning to a command prompt after you type a character or two). If you get the connection failed message, you are either trying to connect to a non-existing system, have the wrong port, or you are being blocked by a firewall. If you get a connection using telnet, then you should be able to connect with your miner.

Just a guess based on too few data points, but noticed both of the working ports are below 1024 - a "semi-magic" number for some firewalls, where those that don't work are above it.

e.g.  As the others suggested, it sounds like a firewall issue.

Do you have any full wallets, like a Bitcoin one, that managed to sync from a machine on the same network?

Thank you, guys, but looks like everything worked out from itself.
 
Unplugged internet and psu cables and waited for couple hours, plugged everything back again and worked.
