cannot connect to rpc server?

[zenthor]

Hi all, ive tried using various miners and mining pools but every time i run pocblm or pheonix i get the error, cannot communicate with bitcoin rpc. is there a fix for this? ive double checked my firewalls and everything was mining fine last night.

Could you post the command lines you are using (edit out the usernames and passwords if you like) as well as which pools you are trying to use?
Thanks.

for phoenix
 phoenix.exe -u http://user@user:pass@btcmine.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=3

also using gui miner: device 0 (the gpu) and -v -w 128 -f60

using similar command lines for the poclbm command line version

ive tried using btcmine, just tried slushpool and have allready tried deepbit

1) check what you use "miner" login and password, not your account credentials
2) probably you under firewall/proxy with blocked connection to 8332 port.

it was a total doh on my part, i switched to dmz mode and double checked my login and pw, probably a problem with my router. Its working now, thanks for the help
