I am also not getting connections, even after adding the addnode to my biblepay.conf file:
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=node.biblepay.org
addnode=97.99.69.33
generate=1
This is the result of telnet:
telnet node.biblepay.org 40000
Trying 97.99.69.33...
Connected to node.biblepay.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
This all happens instantly after I press enter. The connection is closed immediately.
IPtables and netstat:
iptables -L

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

netstat -plunt

I tried the command
addnode node.biblepay.org onetry
and I got this output in debug.log:
socket recv error Connection reset by peer (104)
Any advice?
Try clicking on Tools | Peers and ensure you have no peers banned, reset wallet, delete banlist.dat, and ensure you are on 1017.
Your config file is good enough - and your telnet appears to be working.
Its working for over 250 people - that leads me to believe it is something on your end that is interfering with the network.
