deleted everything but wallet.dat now 0/confirmations

I'm using Windows 7, bitcoin v 0.3.21

I made a copy of my wallet.dat and deleted the db files and all the files cuz i needed space on my C drive ( in users/me/app data/roaming )
i figured i could just rerun bitcoins but now its just 0/transactions for all my bitcoins and saying i have 0 bitcoins
i tried bitcoin -rescan, doesnt do anything that just running bitcoin would do

how do i force it to redownload the blocks ?  I notice now when i run it I only have 4 connections i used to have 50+ almost instantly

i read other posts talking about the client 'downloading blocks' but it doesent seem to be doing anything

hrmm for some reason rebooting my network interface did the trick.. guess it can get 'stuck'
