you need to create the file. be sure windows doesn't add .txt at the end of it. it also needs to go into the data folder (the one with the wallet.dat)

Thanks. I did create a HoboNickels.conf file in the same folder as the wallet.dat and peers.dat but that didn't work. Windows did add a .txt ending to it which I got rid of. I tried hobonickels.conf in lower case as well. Zilch.

My debug file reported:
"ERROR:Caddman: :Read() : open failed" and
"ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to ... failed"
"No valid UPnP IGDs found"

After seeing your message I created another .conf file in notepad, but saved it as "all files" .conf to avoid the .txt extention. Still getting same debug errors, then "Unloading wallet" and "HoboNickels exited". My firewall is set to allow HoboNickels. I'm using the same modem as my good HoboNickels wallet.

I'm wondering whether some ISPs are blocking peer-to-peer connections and whether it's new wallet installations that are affected?
