To remove all doubt, I went over to my brother's house to use his older Windoze machine; which isn't all that hard considering that he lives over my garage.  I started the client on his computer (which uses my broadband) that I know does not have *any* security programs at all, and running over a broadband connection that does not have any blockages at all (because it's mine).  The client started up fine, and within a minute was reporting 60+ connections.  I'm thinking, "I'm good now", but an hour later it still had not incremented the block count even one from the blockchain that I downloaded at the same time as 0.3.10.  I think is was 67,300; but it never moved.  I tried to turn on and off generation, which I didn't expect to work and it didn't.

Any ideas?
