Hi Nerioseole,
I managed to get 2.0.3 running but still can't connect.
I did the "start the program, quit, and re-start it again" you suggested- but still no connection.
Also noticed that the network Proxy option within Electrum is greyed out.
Could it be that the network setting on my mac are not configured correctly?
I have full wi fi signal and Firewall is off in the system preferences.
Thanks!
