Ahh good call, I forgot to set the power & display settings on the mining machines. Hopefully that does it, that would be fantastic.
I will have to check later tonight.
Yeah right now I'm just using network cables and dummy plugs. It's kind of a headache when this happens since I can't see what's going on until windows loads & sometimes windows gives you that computer error screen after a bad shutdown were you have to hit ok before it will even load, therefore not loading at all until I plug in a keyboard and monitor to see what's going on. I ordered a kvm switch that should be here shortly that I'll use as needed too.
The cheapest option would be to use a terminal connection (ssh or telnet) along with cgminer. No expensive hardware required, plus you have full control. The graphics card won't need to render anything either, potentially squeezing a few MH/s.
Also, any idea on the slow network transfers?
It's probably your router. Run a few speedtests with ftp or http to see if the link is slow or just the teamviewer server.
