Ether Peers - Geth Failure

[fabby]

Worst program ever created in the history of cryptocurrency or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Ports are all opened on firewall, including 30303.

net.listening is reporting true

net.peerCount is 0 will climb to 1 or 2 and go back to 0.

Peers are constantly saying "subprotocol error" or "too many peers".

I've been running this for hours and I want to shoot myself.

Command  I'm running: geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*" --genesis "genesis_block.json" --verbosity 5 --maxpeers 128 --fast --nat any

I'm using Linux. Would Windows be easier?

Thank you for any help.

I use Windows. This is my command line :
 geth --rpc --rpcaddr 192.168.1.201 --rpcport 8545  console

It works most of the time.

Just tested on lappy.

Geth is working better for me on Windows 7 with a peerCount of 6.

Guess I'll be changing my rig over to w7.

Kill me. Please.

I use Windows 8.1. It is the same as the Windows 7.

When you sync first time, it will be slow process, difficult to find peers.
