The -3 error means you didn't read the README that tells you how to fix that.

SETTING UP USB DEVICES ...

sorry

[village.idiot]

Okay
Now that I read part of the instructions, it's working.
Thank you kano

Experiencing 1 minor problem.
I've been instructed to use port 3333
When I use the command line
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
it is identified as a bad url

It works just fine if I omit the port
I have no problem using the pool:port on another mining program
I searched through the readme file and I think I'm doing it right and hope I didn't miss anything
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong this time.

Try stratum+tcp://pool:port for 3333?  It is stratum, right?  http is used for longpoll and you would need to use the appropriate longpoll port that would then advertise stratum and switch you to it.

Still identifies it as bad
Tried it from the command line and in pool management

Try it without any leading protocol definition.

I use "-o us.ozco.in:3333"

for instance.

You mean like cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
as I posted above, or am I completely misunderstanding you?

Edit:
Oh, you mean without the http.
I use us3.eclipsemc.com:3333
but that isn't working

What about using one of the other US servers?  I personally use us1 with us2 as my failover.

It doesn't seem to matter which one I enter, it gets rejected.
I use them in reverse order 3,2,1

Could you check us1 & us2?

Done did.  Same results.

Try 443 instead of 3333 and see how that works.
Sam

Edit: the actual intent of my post was to have you try telnet'ing to that port and see what your results were.

The reason it failed on my network is probably due to not having a rule in my firewall to allow it to pass since I don't actually use EMC.

[village.idiot]

not knowing anything about telenet, I pulled up a 'Command Prompt" (Windows)
and entered telnet us3.eclipsemc.com 3333

Didn't work
That's why I asked you

Thanks

If I use us3.eclipsemc.com:3333 on bfgminer, I see stratum in the data display

It took me a minute or two for me to realize/remember my firewall was probably blocking it.  That is why EMC offers port 443 as well which is the port ssl/tls uses.

If your using Win7 try this to get the telnet program.

Control Panel -> Programs and Features.  Turn Windows features on or off. Telnet Client.

Also I use the :3333 on Ozoin and BTCGuild and it works fine for me.  Don't know why you would be having problems unless your firewall is blocking it.  But I would think that would effect the "other mining software" as well.

Try running "netstat -aon" to see if it is actually using tcp 3333.

[village.idiot]

after checking telnet client I tried telnet us3.eclipsemc.com 3333 in the terminal
a line came up and then the screen cleared before I could see what it said.

Don't understand what to do with "netstat -aon"
If I run that a lot of Unix information comes up but that's just the local machine
Right?

That means you can reach that port on that server.  So it is working correctly.

Make sure your Windoze firewall isn't blocking cgminer.exe or cgminer-nogpu.exe.

Right?

Run two dos boxes.  Run "netstat -aon" in one and "tasklist" in the other and compare the PID column to identify which port the "other miner" and cgminer are using.

You sure you don't just have a typo somewhere in your .bat file?

The target here is to run cgminer on a Pi.
But, I guess we've further verified that the port is available on the server.
