Got it working. I think I just had to launch bitcoin client as server from guiminer. I have a new question now.
How can I see my progress? Or do I just wait for a couple months for bitcoins to appear?

Ok, it appears as if I'm much more of a newbie than you. I start up my client by double clicking an exe. How do I use an "addnode" parameter?
A newbie knows everything ..he/she is just someone who is able to tell the answer later 
- Right click on the exe-file and "create shortcut"
- Right click on the shortcut and edit properties
- Add "-addnode
- Double-click on the shortcut and the client should start with the new option

ok, i probably mixed it up with the "noirc" option in the bitcoin.conf file.
Try to use the "addnode" parameter when starting up the client to add another node from the fallbacklist.

The bitcoin client says it's connected to 3 peers. I don't see any options to check an irc channel for clients. I've already forwarded the bitcoin port to my ip.
Guess your bitcoin client is not able to find other peers ..check the options and make sure that it is allowed to check an irc channel for clients.
If that doesn't work i wrote here, that it helped to port forward the bitcoin port to the computer where the client is running

When I try to start mining, I get stuck at "Connecting..." in the status bar and the miner doesn't start. I already checked that my bitcoin.conf contains the correct username and password. I am using:
