It's been a while since I mined, heck I still have 1.0 bitcoin still in my account (didn't request a payout). Just started up again 2 days ago. All was well until today when I got the following error (it occured earlier, but this is the 2nd time):

btcguild.com:8332 09/04/2013 16:24:11, 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'settimeout'.

It clears up when I start mining again, but eventually does it again after a few hours.  I also noticed that it says something like "job finished, idle" a couple of times and then that goes away.. not sure if that affects my mining too.

I use Guiminer (latest) with BTC Guild.

On a side note, I read recently that I need to start using stratum1.btcguild.com:3333,  not exactly sure how to configure that in guiminer. I looked at the "servers.ini" and it's not clear where to make the changes...

            "balance_host": "www.btcguild.com",
            "balance_token_url": "http://www.btcguild.com/my_api.php",
            "balance_url": "/api.php?api_key=%s",
            "host": "btcguild.com",
            "name": "BTC Guild (any)",
            "port": 8332,
            "url": "http://www.btcguild.com"

Could someone append this for me?   Or am I supposed to use a different miner?
