Title: multibit
Post by: Smedley B on April 03, 2013, 04:10:54 PM
i'm very new to this.

I installed multibit. it says "connecting..." in red in the lower left corner.
had it running a long time yesterday, same again today, still says the same thing.

how long should i expect to wait before it connects?

any idea what could explain this?

thanks, that seems to work now.

I had to manually go into the firewall to allow access, and also allow access for java.
same with the standard bitcoin client, which is now syncronizing.
not sure why the firewall did not prompt me as it usually does when something attempts access.
