It could be one or more of the following:

• The pool you have configured is down, or is unreachable
• You have misconfigured your pool
• Your service provider is blocking stratum traffic

Try switching to another pool. If that doesn't help, switch to a port 80 pool that uses getwork/getblocktemplate(GBT), instead of stratum.

Also, I already said it in your previous thread: STOP USING COMMAS AS ELLIPSIS. IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING.
