I've created a litecoin-qt server with the following configuration:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://192.168.10.5:9332",
"user" : "something",
"pass" : "somethingelse"
}
]
,
"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"scrypt" : true
}
I'm able to connect to it from at least 3 different machines on the network, plus one connection from itself (I'm having cgminer run on the server).
However, I'm unable to connect from any other machines - it flashes the following:
[2014-02-04 21:47:03] Pool: 0 URL: http://192.168.10.5:9332 User: something Password: somethingelse
[2014-02-04 21:47:03] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will try again in 15s.
[2014-02-04 21:48:03] HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 60000 milliseconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received
[2014-02-04 21:48:03] Failed to connect in json_rpc_call

[2014-02-04 21:49:03] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
And ends with:
[2014-02-04 21:40:48] Timed out waiting for data on socket_full
[2014-02-04 21:40:48] Initiate stratum failed

The datetimes are slightly off since I fetched these logs in different run instances.
Are those other machines outside of your network and getting blocked by a firewall or port rules? – John T – 2014-02-04T21:25:11.800
Hi Jacob - no, they're all on the same wifi and the other machines can ping the .10.5 one. This is all on Windows - am I running into a connection limitation? – siliconpi – 2014-02-05T01:57:15.833
Bitcoind by default accepts up to 8 connections. Have you tried pinging the ip address from the trouble computers? – John T – 2014-02-05T01:58:56.920
Yup - did that again before typing the above - am able to receive responses. Still seeing the above message (second quoted block) - note, this isn't a stratum pool. – siliconpi – 2014-02-05T02:02:12.480
It may be a network issue most likely. Are you using the correct ip address, port, and password for sure? The following line suggests that no communication is even established, so it's not a problem with configuration of pool.
HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 60000 milliseconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received– John T – 2014-02-05T02:04:24.663Yeah - I'm using the correct IP - using the same config on the other machines. Two of the worker machines are using cudaminer, 1 is using cgminer (with the config exactly as the first quoted block). The server machine itself has it modified to use 127.0.0.1 as the IP address, no other change. – siliconpi – 2014-02-05T02:19:15.537
