So currently I have Litecoin core open and running, on the same computer I have a CPU miner running just fine.
the problem is that I have 3 other laptops I want to mine with but I can’t since it won’t connect and it gives me this error (the laptops use linux/ubuntu)

On the PC with the wallet its running just fine as seen below.

Which I like that but I need more power
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I’m not used to forums and I have only used one once before.
If any more info is needed I’ll be glad to provide it.
So now instead of “Operation timed out” It says Connection refused, any thoughts?
Also, my computer doesn’t seem to be listening to 0.0.0.0:8332 which isn’t a good thing according to other forums.
Doh! I didn’t even notice, for the -url= you have the IP address of the computer running core correct, like shyliar has?
The 3 Linux laptops aren’t using --url=http://localhost:9332 correct?
If you are sure they’re pointed at the PC running litecoin core, and still no luck, the next thing I am thinking is to scan the PC from one of the Linux laptops using this:
Just to confirm that you can connect to that IP and that port, from another host on your LAN.
your miner is going to connect to the port that is listening …8332 for get work and usually 3333 for stratum…however make sure you are setting the network connection settings to connect to connect to peers peers to 9333 because wallet uses port 9050 by default for peer connections… 9332 and 9333 are rpc port and peer connection im pretty sure…
you could also try connecting everything through a VPN and setting proxy settings for that VPN to connect to the 127.0.0.1 and us your listening port for that connection…this should ensure that your mining software is using the same local address’
You can map your network using Portable box and any linux distro image installed to it…then you will have linux running locally and can map your network with that…only recommended if your familiar with linux or are willing to learn…also in windows a simple ipconfig /all command in command prompt should show you everything that is connected to the network your computer is on…
I fixed it, and that’s where I went wrong, I didn’t have the IP of the receiving computer and on Windows Firewall for the receiving computer, I had to add a new rule which allowed ports 9332 and 8332 and then it worked just fine! thank you all for your help!
