Why do my pool settings indicate "dead"?

Friends:

I entered my own information for Pool 1, and used the defaults that came with the S2 for Pools 2 and 3. I did this to check one change at a time. To my pleasant surprise, the hashing rate shot up to 1082GH/sec from 0. This is the first time I have been able to achieve hashing with this machine, and I owe my success to the many suggestions I have received from the contributors to this forum. This is the good news. 

The bad news is that when I view the tab "Miner Status" is shows that my information on Pool 1 is "dead" and the only 'live" setting is for Pool 3 that uses:
50.31.149.57:3333
antminer_1
123

My settings that lead to a dead outcome:

stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 
jpsmith8488Worker1 
password

http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 (stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 doesn't work either)
jpsmith8488Worker1
123

stratum.btcguild.com:3333
jpsmith8488_jpsmith848worker2
password

Is there something that I am doing that is leading all three of my pool settings fail?  Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting? Why does the default work yet all of my settings fail?

Again, many thanks for your help.

  • in your example for slush's pool it looks as though your worker should be 

    jpsmith8488.Worker1

    not 

    jpsmith8488Worker1 

    it's been a while since I used it though, maybe the format changed?
  • Thank you FabulousPanda for all of your help. I am now have a fully functional, connected, and hashing (up to 1122 GH/sec) S2 Antminer with all three Pool settings marked Alive. I could not have accomplished this without your many suggestions and those of other forum contributors. 
    Greatly appreciated.
    Justin
