Title: Bitcoin client not able to connect - socket error [CLOSED] Post by: bitcoinTrader on May 23, 2011, 03:10:09 AM Hi,
My Bitcoin client 0.3.20 on windows 7 has stopped connecting to the block chain. Its not downloading the latest blocks. Please advise how to fix this error, since purchased some bitcoins but they are not showing in my wallet. The block which shows on my client is 125811, but current block is 125907. Please help Edit: The client started working. Dont know how....

I did not have this problem three days ago.

No errors appear on the terminal, the client just doesn't connect. Port 8333 is forwarded. edit: never mind, I just got one connection. Still weird.

Right now it's 10 blocks behind, but with 3 connections. It doesn't appear to be downloading any blocks.

I feel bad for relying solely on the fallback nodes, but I don't know what else to do, I can't connect any other way. I also can't access bitcoin.org main site. (I've tried the site and the client via VPN as well, so it's gotta be something on my computer. I've checked the firewall and the router and everything is fine, but by god I still can't connect!!!)
