Re: BFGMiner and Zeus not working properly
what is the whole command line you are using?
Are you trying to solo mine or static mine a coin, or join the autopool?
What are the rest of the password arguments you are passing in, are they inside of "" marks?

Re: BFGMiner and Zeus not working properly
i have the same issues with static difficulty 16384, 32768. 65536 stays connected but won't accept any shares even after several hours. i'm also using bfgminer 5.4.2 on zeus hardware. when it does work at 16384 and 32768 it submits accepted shares normally but connection interrupted every 3 minutes and about 20% shares lost when it reconnects. other pools work fine. it has pretty much made prohashing unusable for me unless i don't mind 20% rejects from interrupted connection every 3 minutes, which i guess isn't a bad thing if profitability has been below litecoin here anyway

and dynamic difficulty doesn't accept shares even after several hours either. i would think they could change dynamic difficulty to adjust to lower difficulty if there are no shares submitted for a while, but it stays the same. i have a couple thunder x3 and i know they could hit that size share after a few minutes, but it never does on dynamic
Re: BFGMiner and Zeus not working properly
a while ago I submitted a ticket to support about both static and dynamic difficulty not working properly when they first changed the mining server, but it was closed without any real resolution. considering normally i would have my rigs set at 4096 or 8192, and now neither are available.. and other options won't work properly. so i guess they're just trying to get rid of all the smaller miners, which would seem like an asset to a pool that mines lower difficulty altcoins. anyways, i just hope they either fix it or make another port/mining server for lower difficulty miners
Re: BFGMiner and Zeus not working properly
it was decent like a year ago when i could have the 1mh/s devices set at 1024, and bigger devices (like thunder x3 at 28 mh/s) at 2048, to maximize the hashrate. but i guess their bandwidth cost is an issue now
Re: BFGMiner and Zeus not working properly
i think the interrupted connections are resolved after the memory leak was fixed. and i discovered the mining software i was using wasn't working right, after trying several different mining programs. neither bfgminer 5.4.2 or cgminer 4.3.5 would submit shares at the starting difficulty, other versions of bfgminer or cgminer with zeus support would work but showed a lot of HW errors. I'm now using bfgminer 4.2.1 and it is working fine, only a strange error with the display, when the share difficulty is really at 65536 it says 0 instead of 1.
