I have checked everything (all the settings are also in the screenshot).  Whats funny is that if I direct the blades to another computer and run the same stratum.bat's everything works.  Just for some reason it doesn't want to pick up on this one.  Any ideas?

On this computer, even if I got with automatic IP configuration, check the IP that gets selected for the computer and direct the blades to that address - the stratum.bat's still don't have any activity.
