Also, anyone seeing the issue, any chance you could post which miner you're using, and where you downloaded it from?
Same thing here. Mining 11 days straight and just got this happening to me today. Hadn't touched my rig in those 11 days. Using CGMiner 3.7.3 kalroth, also using cgwatcher.
To everyone seeing this problem, is x.wafflepool.com still showing up as the connected server name in cgminer or other miner software, or is it displaying this unexpected ip address instead?
