Multibit HD Connection Problems

[shamzblueworld]

Recently I've been experiencing connection problems with Multibit HD wallet.
It opens and keeps connecting for hours, sometimes it takes more than 4-5 hours to connect, and sometimes it just won't and I have to give up and try later. My Internet is working fine.
Is it a wallet issue or the bitcoin network issue? How to tackle this because it is quite frustrating, especially when I have to make a transaction.
What should I do?

Try to backup first the wallet and try to reinstall it. maybe it can fix the issue..
or check your firewall or antivirus better to off first the anti virus and firewall first and try again and let us know if its work or not.

Are you using a network that is not controlled by you? You could run your wallet through a proxy or use a VPN if you think you could be under set limitations by the system's admin.

No its not that, I'm using broadband and its not shared.
I just wanted to know if that is a wallet issue, because sometimes it works fine too and sometimes just won't connect to the bitcoin network at all.
Just tried now and it connected within seconds.

If that is the case , you need to do a speed test of your internet connection, also you need to check your ping. It maybe that your broadband connection losses power sometimes while some other times works well. I don't think that is a wallet issue as it is connecting fine by me and I am using broadband internet connection too.

Have you tried the suggested solution in the MultiBit help if you are getting Connection Error messages?

NOTE: I would advise making sure you have appropriate backups of everything before you start deleting files

I see "There was an error in creating a connection to the Bitcoin network" in the corner

You most likely have a corrupted file in your wallet directory. Here's the procedure to resolve the situation:

• Start MultiBit as normal
• Unlock your wallet and click Finish as normal
• Click "Manage Wallet" in the sidebar and click the "Wallet dashboard" button
• Make a note of your "application directory" and your "wallet directory" (copy/paste into a text editor is useful here)
• Close MultiBit in the usual way
• Open a file browser and navigate to the "application directory" and from there into your "wallet directory"
• Locate the file called mbhd.spvchain and delete it
• Start MultiBit as normal and unlock your wallet

You should now be able to connect to the Bitcoin network and after a much longer synchronization process than usual your balance will be restored

If you suspicious is your internet can you give an ping results or speedtest.
Maybe you have a lose packet in your internet that is why you are halving this issue.
You can try your ping make more stable. just follow this method inside of this site http://www.tp-link.com/us/FAQ-190.html this is a method where you are changing your MTU if what the broadband exact MTU so that if they are both same you can prevent your packet lose..
or your wallet connection issue or try TCP optimizer to solve your issue..
