Just an FYI for anyone running on dashminer... I am using BitDefender for my antivirus/firewall.  It does NOT like the dashminer version of sgminer.  I have had to make rules so BD will stop quarantining it.  And once I did that, I have continued to fight with it to allow sgminer access to the internet.  I decided to post this because I walked away for about 10 minutes, and when I came back, BD had locked the sgminer out of the network for the third time.
