Damn, my "high performance proxy mining server" got taken down for "suspicious activity" despite techsupport's claims that 7769 is okie after all.
I forgot to arrange for removal of wallet.dat with all the bounty geists

...Hope they will at least let me take my files over SSH
what miner do you use?
Tryed phoenix and poclbm.
I dunno, a person with guiminer and 250 Mhashes has just made 7 geists, according to her. Maybe bad luck, maybe some miner tweak needed.
How many connections does mining rig have right now ?
Did you add "portsend=7769" W/O quotes to your config ?
