Does anyone know why I might be getting this while trying to start a miner on my new machine?

Port 8332 is the default for "getwork" protocol. Slush was talking about deprecating it completely and it seems this is already a fact.

I just looked at the stats page and it used to say so-and-so-% stratum vs getwork (lately was 97-98%) and now it doesn't say anything, which makes me think that getwork is gone completely.

In this case -
Solution 1: Set your miner to use "stratum".
Solution 2: if you can't do #1 just run the proxy on one of your machines and point your miners to the proxy.
