Connects, looks like it starts mining and Geth console shows the connection. But not seeing any shares? only temps and new jobs. On pool, i'm seeing accepted shares almost instantly. Doing something wrong here?

I didn't try solo mining. But I guess that with solo mode your "share" means to be a block solution. With such difficulty difference (compare yours and pool ones) and your hashrate you should mine few days, maybe a week on average, to find a block. I think so, but might be wrong.
I actually have 600mh of miners that I want to solo mine, but so far only the local box running Geth is connecting my GPU's and that's the 120mh you see here. Tried pointing my other rigs to this Geth box and getting failure to connect messages. I would think I should still see accepted shares as rarely are they blocks on a pool. I avg 450 accepted shares per hour on a pool like Nano, so I was expecting to see similar results solo mining.
The not connecting is most likely because you set rpc to 127.0.0.1 and then geth only accepts connections from the same machine. Use the local ip instead.
And by the way, I wouldn't use CDM to solo mine. When you solo mine, you don't want 36 or 72 seconds per hour not mining for yourself because in this time it can be when you're gonna hit a block. If you are pool mining then it is ok because shares you will be hitting a lot anyway. I'll give you an example: a few months ago when I was still solo mining, I was gonna stop one of my rigs and in the time between hitting CTRL and C this rig found one block.
Thanks for the info, very helpful. So in your opinion, I should use ethminer doing solo on my Geth? Even though CMD give me a higher hash rate? With either I get 103mh on 1 rig, with CMD I get 120mh. With all my hw, using Ethminer its 460mh, with CMD its 550Mh. Considerable difference.
Thanks,
