Sloopy can you ping the pool from your internet router or server?
I am in Southern Nevada so pretty much next door to the west coast server. Pings for me range in the mid to low 40s when I have sent them. So far, less then .20 invalids sometimes lower. S5s range .25 to .35 rejected shares, the Spondoolies stuff is getting .07 to .17 invalid shares here.
West Coast Server?
I) do not see locations by the server info on the website?
