Dude, The Cpu does other things for your computer also. Just running the command reduces your hashrate.
Ah I see. Well if my client is mining, should I be seeing stuff under transactions?
Also it says it's only connected to 7-8 active connections, is that enough?
You'll see stuff under the transactions tab after you've mined a block that wasn't an orphan. I suggest you use port forwarding to get more connections then 8. This will decrease latency to the netwerk and thus the amount of orphans mined.
to check if you are hashing go to: help -> debug window -> console and type 'gethashespersec'. To check all the blocks you mined type in 'listtransactions'.

Is there a reason the private IP `192.168.1.237 ` is in the command in the OP? Don't think it will do any harm and probably copy/paste error right?
