What settings are being used to cpu mine? I tried to do this in a .bat file with the minerd.exe program:

1) minerd.exe -a sha256d -o http://127.0.0.1:9935 -u xx -p xx

2) minerd.exe -a sha256 -o http://127.0.0.1:9935 -u xx -p xx

First, I add the "d" at the end of sha256 not sure why, but I had an old mining .bat using that for BTC and it was the only way to get the thing to start, is that how it works? Otherwise, with just -a sha256 it doesn't work.

And either way, it won't connect to 127.0.0.1 it says http:// request failed

I have done of course 
but i´m still waiting

I opened the wallet but it is not connecting, do I need to do anything to it?

Thanks
