Hi all, thanks for the help...finally got my Cube running a few days ago...turns out my firewall was blocking the port. As soon as I added the ports and fired up the Stratum Proxy it kicked in and has been running at up to 38 gh/s. I did not need to make a script for the Stratum Proxy either, simply running it as is for Slush's pool works perfectly.

That's running on my PC which is not optimal for power consumption...off now to figure out my Raspberry Pi.
