With my standard bat file setup just like I have on my home PC, it doesn't connect and won't mine. I opened everything up on my local firewall but I am not sure if the location I am at is blocking that port (router settings, etc), that activity, or what-not.
I had to put a flag on the wallet app to get it to connect to a node by adding it to the run command, it mined all night, supposedly, but it actually didn't do anything. Very weird. When I checked on it this morning, it had a runtime error saying it asked it to shutdown in an odd manner. I checked the log file, it didn't have a hashrate.
I really want to set up this x64 miner but the damn thing won't connect still, no matter what I do.
