Multibit HD does not connect anymore, help !

[doc12]

Hi,

my Multibit HD client does not find peers anymore. Two days ago it was all fine, computer was off since then.

Somebody has the same problem ?


Seems like the client tries to connect to seed.bitcoinstats.com and then a error occures.

OS Linux Mint 17.1:

Looks like network connectivity problems.

Can you ping the machines mentioned ?
I just pinged then successfully:

If not then it is most likely something to do with your local network.

I'm also able to ping the machines and connect to them on port 8333.  

My network seems ok so far.  

Now and then the client connects to the network, but then I restart and it fails again...
