Is that the exact message you are getting?   Or is it perhaps "No block source available"?

I thought that was probably it.

You might try quit it and restarting it.  It is an odd message to see, but perhaps that will help.  If not, there are other suggestions.  ;-)

[Brahman]

It's been restarted 3-6 times/day for the last 6 days.

You can use addnode to add a specific IP. It is very strange that this is occurring..

[E.exchanger]

is it showing in your bitcoin-qt or some altcoin you coded???
