The setup that's been most stable for me is setting it to use 2 different servers. Because I want it to stay on 1 pool, I set it to use a stratum proxy for 1 of the servers, and connect directly to the getwork server on the same pool for the other server. It switches itself back and forth every so often, but doesn't stop hashing and restart.

That's the trick! Server with 2 NICs on 2 different IP's but same port. Switches between the two but dosent reset!

My blades have been rebooting every hour to the second since I got them.  This suggestion is what worked for me with a few changes.  Evidently the blades do not like having the same server IP address listed for primary and secondary.  What I did was bind a second IP address to the same NIC on my Linux box running the stratum proxy.  Changed the secondary address on the blade to the new secondary IP bound on the stratum proxy and problem gone.

Thanks to bluedragon and gbsray for pointing me in the right direction.

If you are just starting out and have no hardware I would suggest that you start mining LTC with any CPU's or GPU's you have around.  I am running virtual machines on a number of large servers that have excess capacity for mining LTC.  They manage to mine about 1 LTC a day using cgminer.  If its bitcoins you are after you can then trade them online at one of the coin exchanges.

how exactly do i do that? I could not get cgminer or pooler cpu running on win xp, have no clue what I am doing wrong.  I input all the proper values as far as i know,  but the dos window just keeps repeating the command line ad infinitum. Using pooler on the laptop with win7, same exact values in the bat, runs fine

Check out:
https://www.coinat.com/tutorials/how-to-mine-litecoins-with-cgminer-on-windows/

It has some good step by step instructions for setting up cgminer on windows.  If you are still unable to get it working, please provide more detail about the failure.
