Title: bitcoin client not connecting Post by: trout on April 28, 2011, 08:11:28 PM Hi,
the bitcoin client I'm using often can't connect to the network. It shows "0 connections" for like an hour. THen sometimes it goes to 1 and then back to 0. Sometimes closing it and starting again solves the problem, sometimes not. Also, often it just works fine - finds several connections immediatetly anybody has a similar problem? my network connection is pretty good.

What OS are you using? Title: Re: bitcoin client not connecting Post by: trout on April 28, 2011, 08:44:54 PM Need more info. Are you behind a firewall? What OS are you using? not behind a firewall. Ubuntu 10.10 bitcoin 0.3.21, but had it with the previous version too. Title: Re: bitcoin client not connecting Post by: MoonShadow on April 28, 2011, 09:33:50 PM Need more info.

Title: Re: bitcoin client not connecting Post by: trout on April 29, 2011, 08:46:02 AM Could your ISP be traffic shaping? traffic shaping against bitcoin? not very likely, especially given that it's very tolerant to torrents..

Could your virus software or Windows security settings be interfering?

Title: Re: bitcoin client not connecting Post by: martinw79 on June 04, 2011, 02:10:28 AM In both your cases, did you login to your router and setup port forwarding from the internet to the internal LAN IP of your PC with bitcoin? From the noob guides I read it said that it's not required, however, after I installed bitcoin on win7 I was stuck at 0 connections for a while. As soon as I setup port forwarding / tcp / 8333 to the internal IP I saw a dozen connection come in at once.
Hope this helps someone. |
