i'm using the following in my genesiscoin.conf file and i'm getting a synch to the network right away:
rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpass
rpcport=44669
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
addnode=123.18.212.164
addnode=49.107.103.108
addnode=113.168.151.242
addnode=46.0.33.176
addnode=42.118.144.33
Make sure you save it as a "all files" in the dropdown box then enter the name genesiscoin.conf,save it in in your c:/users/yourusernamehere/appdata/roaming/genesiscoin folder and restart the client.
Hope this helps
