Sorry, still no joy. Has the listener function been enabled in the new client?

daemon=1
listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=XXXXX
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.90
rpcport=9561
addnode=dnsseed.sexcoin.info
addnode=dnsseed.lavajumper.com
addnode=74.208.174.17
addnode=66.172.10.97


Using CGMINER 3.7.2

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "192.168.1.90:9561",
      "user" : "XXXXX",
      "pass" : "x"
   },

Says pool dead, unable to connect, even on same host as wallet, with no firewall or AV running.

Still, no joy. That's ok, I'll stick with p2pool for now.
