Trouble connecting to servers.

[bacon]

Hey gang I'm having an issue connecting to servers.

Is what my GUIminer Scrypt's console says.  I double checked my .bat file, address, worker names, every thing is typed correctly.  I even tried different pools.

This is my set up:

Are you connected to the Net?

[bacon]

Of course.  And even checked to see if my firewall was causing trouble, didn't see any evidence that windows firewall was denying access to it.

Try pinging the servers you are attempting to connect to. If that is good, I can only suggest something from here "Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers" or your username / password isn't right somehow

hrrm, how do I ping?

what OS are your running. Windows, OSX, Unix?

[bacon]

Windows 7 ultimate

[vm1990]

in intesity box you need to pick a number

12
13
14

16
17
18

a range of number like you have wont work  the higheer the number the more gpu is  asigned to mining 16 17 and 18 are dedicated mining meaning desktop will be pretty much un usable

darned. I'm an OSX and Unix guy.

I did a quick google but it doesn't look good e.g

"Hello On windows 7, there's no "ping" or "ipconfig" (and certainly more). What's the hell did they think about to remove such basics commands !"

If thats true, I'm pretty shocked. Taking such basic functions out of a computer.

Any Windows 7 guys out there know how to ping?

cmd > ping

Seems I left a number off on the batch files port number.  Fixed that.  Ran it, gave me the same message although with a new line of text to it.

Now, I've read the instructions about a dozen times.  I have the batch written like it says ./cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://doge.cryptovalley.com:3333 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

cgminer.exe --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://doge.cryptovalley.com:3333 -u accountname.worker -p the workers password --thread-concurrency 4096 -I 10 -g 1 -w 256

Double checking on if I have this written out properly.  Found as you fellows said, the cmd-ping.  But I can't figure out how to ping a server (unless ya know, pinging the website is in fact, pinging the "doge.cryptovalley.com" is what I'm supposed to do.  Which I did, and it went with out a hitch.


Also here's the ping results if it helps

Those ping results aren't good for a start:

1) Very slow, but that's probably not so important
2) 50% packet loss i.e. every 2nd ping failed. Could that be the cause? Try pinging "normal" sites, see if you get better results.

Hoo nelly, did gamefaqs.com and it got 4 pings, 100 percent loss.  Pinged google got 4 pings, 0 percent loss.

Some servers blocks pinging. gamefaqs.com is one of them. google or yahoo should ping 100% of the time for you. If so, you have a dodgy connection for some reason to the server you are trying to connect to. Not saying that is the entire issue, but its certainly not good. Can you connect to other mining servers? Is there a list you can choose from? I'm not a miner so can't test that for you.
