user841: GUI Miner v2011-08-24 just shows "connecting..." when trying to connect to slush's pool. The console shows:

where xxxxxx is my correct password.
I've tried uninstalling (removing the directory, ensuring the process isn't running, and unzipping again) as suggested in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=28886.0 but it hasn't worked.

user129: you're using api2.bitcoincz.com:8332 but that's not listed on the pool's site:
Run your own GPU/FPGA/ASIC miner with the worker credentials you gave earlier, and connect it to following URL:
http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332
(Main pool URL) 
or
stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
(If you have Stratum-compatible miner)
