thanks, it says "0 active connections"..
I'll try to make it work on a linux machine, maybe I'll have more luck
Go look at the block explorer and pull the nodes that are active from there. I'll put a link in here for you.
http://trance.thecryptochat.net/network.phpOn that page it gives you all the IP addresses of the nodes that they are currently connected to so that should make it easier for you to connect.
