Bitcoin doesn't appear to be doin anything

[kallist0]

Hello,

         I created a Bitcoin account yesterday, after landing on the Bitcoin Faucet page. Although Bitcoin shows 8 connections, after the initial  block build-up (113424) nothing has happened. The free Bitcoins have not appeared in the balance. I'm using Windows 7, and it the firewall did detect Bitcoin and I cleared it for internet access, there is not router. Is there something else I should have done?

The Faucet sometimes silently delays payment as an anti-abuse measure. It'll probably send the coins eventually.
