Title: Zero active connections to bitcoin network message
Post by: Rockford99 on May 09, 2012, 02:24:20 AM
I'm traveling in Eastern Europe and want send some BTC.  I have "what SEEMS to be" pretty fast internet access, yet my wallet says
Zero active connections to bitcoin network message in the lower right corner 

Can anyone make a suggestion or explanation so that I can expedite the transfer?

Thanks in advance.

Also, there were various network issues in older releases that have since been resolved, if that might be your problem.

I'm using Bitcoin 0.6.0.6 - Beta
Should I upgrade/re-install?

Thanks

That version is recent enough, so probably isn't the issue.

Could it be that the network you are on blocks outgoing traffic except for web or something like that going on?
