Oh yes! 
And now I'm a namecoin miner, and will listen to a song with miner in the title to celebrate, like this

That is the correct way to do it.
It's normal behavior for namecoind to just show a blinking cursor when you start it up in windows.

"Note : on windows, this message may not appear, and you need to open a new terminal to type other commands."

Did step 1 but I still got an error.
So I started the bitcoind just by clicking on the icon, and THEN opened a second cmd.exe window.
Now I can use the commands, see my namecoin address and the rest.
Progress!
Thanks

Simple error, I had to save the .conf file in the right way.
As in
http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54
that give me a command prompt screen with nothing on it. I don't know if that's an improvement or not.

1. Open cmd.exe, run "namecoind.exe".
2. Open another cmd.exe, perform commands...
Get your first namecoin address: "namecoind.exe listreceivedbyaddress 0 true"
"namecoind.exe getinfo"
"namecoind.exe listtransactions"
"namecoind.exe help"
You can start mining once you catch up to the current block.

Ah, you mean a new address on my regular bitcoin client GUI?
That's easy enough.
Or a new address from my non starting non existant pain in the arse namecoind mystery non client.

Hi thanks. Well, I'm confused about namecoin because I don't know where they are supposed to show up. Do they show up in a seperate namecoin client? Am I supposed to have a seperate namecoin address for namecoins?
I try and run the namcoind but I don't get a GUI like the bitcoin one.
I've pointed my guiminer at coinotron, set up the worker like I am supposed to, and it connects and mines. Seems OK, but where do I see my namecoins?
Basic question, does mining namecoins just add to my bitcoin pile? That can't be right, there must be a difference.
I'm flummoxed.

Yes, they are seperate addresses. You will need to tell the pool the address to send you namecoins to just like you have to do for bitcoins.

I would say if you are uncomfortable with the cli, just use it enough to get a namecoin address out of it, and then use a pool just like you do for bitcoins.
I am currently using https://poolmunity.com for some namecoin mining myself.

Thanks, yes I did that, just about.
I don't know how to get the guiminer to use the right daemon and config file.
I run the bitcoind but I just get "To use namecoind, you must set rpc= blah blah blah
I've done that, made the conf file, put it in App Data in the namecoin directory, filled in the passwords but it does nothing.
I get the 'problems communicating wth RPC 0 2 blurb.
So I'm stumped.

I've been trying to get namecoin working, but I'm sturggling - I'm not windows conversant at all.
I want to get it going with guiminer if possible, anyone seen a good how to?
