Thanks for the suggestion, definitely not that though.

I have Verizon FiOS and run my own pfsense router/firewall, with multiple VPNs for my business, so I'm well aware of IP changes when they do happen.  FiOS is pretty stable in that regard, on average I get a new IP every few months. 

I do have 3 other machines mining and they don't have the same issues.  However they are all different setups.  One is my Win7x64 machine mining LTC on my crossfire 6790s, a second is an rPi with 12 Block Erupters, the last is actually the same machine I'm using as the proxy, running Ubuntu server 13.10, that has my BFL 30GH, single bitfury red 2.7GH, and 7 Block Erupters.  I originally bought that machine, a Gigabyte Brix, to replace the rPi as the single USB connected miner, but it has an Intel Haswell USB3 controller, which I learned the hard way has SEVERELY limited resources for the number of connected devices.  So even though it's USB3 (with no USB2s) I can only connect about 12 devices before the system bitches it has the controller has no more available resources.
