Hi

I've got one problem - I wanted to mine on my notebook, or just check, how much rate i would have on it. But I can't run mining with my GPU in any option:
-I have connection and generating with BTC client
-I work wireless but I tried also wired
-I've opened ports in firewall 8333 and 6667 - it works on my desktop
-I've tried with guiminer and with momchil's client - first has "connection problems" second is crashing just after starting main program (Windows: "program encountered problem")
-I've tried on slush's pool or BTCmine
-I've tried in other network but it was propably firewalled

I think I've tried every option, I've read that U mine on notebooks and I have no futher idea what else could I change or why isn't it working?

Can U help me?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

It's not worth it OP.

Your notebook's CPU will probably get about 2Mhash/s

Your notebook's integrated GPU (if it has one) will probably not even work with most miners, and if it does, will probably get about 10-25Mhash/s which is virtually pointless.

my notebook has 2 GPUs one is integrated with sandy bridge CPU and one is dedicated nvidia gt540m, which I want to try out. it has lots of CUDA stuff, and even if it can do 50 Mhash I'd like to use it.

Can anyone help me?

Sure you have the username & password right?

On BTCMine, it's (BTCmine Username)@(Miner name)

If you click on the individual miner (not summary) in GUIminer, it should give a more detailed error message in the bottom-left box.

Where it's dark red:
