Can't connect... help?

[AndDuffy]

I've been running bitcoin smoothly for months, although now it seems that I can't connect to the bitcoin network and transactions that I've sent aren't going through. At the bottom of the client it says "0 active connections to the bitcoin network" although I do have an internet connection. Tried restarting the client, didn't work. So, what do I do?

Try checking your firewall settings. Maybe something is preventing your client from making connections? And did you install anything lately that might be conflicting?

Is your clock correct?

Did you try updating or recompiling from source?

Might sound like trolling, but ensuring your system clock is correct can solve a lot of problems.

Fixed it... I just had to uncheck "Connect through proxy". Don't remember checking it in the first place, but all is well. Thanks for the help.
