Title: Cannot connect to network Post by: Jeremy West spendbitcoins.com on July 30, 2012, 04:45:21 AM Hi there,
I sent a customer of mine (a newbie) bitcoins several days ago and they haven't received them. I had them send me a screenshot: http://www.dumpt.com/img/files/lerf0q9mhcfp8336kvrl_thumb.png (http://www.dumpt.com/img/viewer.php?file=lerf0q9mhcfp8336kvrl.png) which obviously shows they are not connected to the bitcoin network. What could cause this and what can they do about it? Thanks for the technical support, forums! ;) Title: Re: Cannot connect to network Post by: Deafboy on July 30, 2012, 05:38:40 AM I don't think it has anything to do with port forwarding. He's obviously not connected at all. Not even standard 8 connections if you are behind firewall.
Tell him to try Code: telnet electrum.bitcoins.sk 8333 Title: Re: Cannot connect to network Post by: Atheros on July 30, 2012, 06:41:04 PM I don't think it has anything to do with port forwarding.

He would need to send a valid version message before the remote host will send anything back. OP, the user's firewall (probably a corporate firewall) is blocking outbound TCP connections. Request that he get this computer connected to the internet through a less draconian Internet connection. If he cannot, he could move his wallet file home and fire up Bitcoin there.
