i have now down loaded and installed 3 versions of the wallet have port forwarded ports 1331 and 1441 have added every node i could find recomended in the forums and after a week the wallet has not found a single block the debug file shows the following errors:
"ERROR: Error reading proxy response"  , "socket no message in first 60 seconds, 1 0" , "ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to 37.247.55.42:80 failed"
I have tryed both socks 4 and 5 shows 1-3 conections to network. Are there dependancies I have to install  or is some thing wrong with my conf file any help would be greatly appreciated

Start the latest wallet (v2.0.0.5, delete all other versions. Go to settings, then options, network, turn off the socks proxy and restart the client. The network should start to synchronize. If it is not working, replace your groestlcoin.conf with this and restart the client:

Quotelisten=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235
addnode=88.167.215.32
addnode=69.197.137.58
addnode=103.16.218.165
addnode=84.98.85.30
addnode=76.16.120.82
addnode=62.210.123.27
addnode=117.13.253.241

Still not working? Try this:

Close client
Backup your wallet.dat file
Go to: C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\groestlcoin
Delete everything EXCEPT for the wallet.dat file
Run the new wallet

If it is not working, replace your groestlcoin.conf with this and restart the client:

Quotelisten=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235

do you have any amount on you wallet? if not, delete everything plz.
Then reinstall and show me the groestlcoin.conf that u are using. U are still trying to connect through socks.

E-Rock

my conf is
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235
addnode=88.167.215.32
addnode=69.197.137.58
addnode=103.16.218.165
addnode=84.98.85.30
addnode=76.16.120.82
addnode=62.210.123.27
addnode=117.13.253.241
when not using socks get no conection to network and says NO BLOCK SOURCE AVALABLE
if i use socks 5 get 3 conections to network but never finds a block

Do you have other coin wallets on that pc? Ifso, check if they are able to sync. If they are then it should be a firewall rule. If not then something else is going on.
Anyway there could be 1001 reasons why it could not work.

So either try on another pc or i can try to fix it through teamviewer for you (pm me if u want)

thanks for your help. I found the problem i had port forwarded my router and saved the settings but apparently Cisco DCP3825 routers provided by Shaw C able the port forwarding does not take effect till the router is unpluged and rebooted.  so did that and all is working fine.
