@Sellingaccs, Thanks.
I tried it. added the addresses you suggested.
The same results. "Connecting to peers..."

There is nothing I can re-install. All I'm using is the 64bit latest  binaries for Windows.
Everything worked fine yesterday and that's what makes me crazy.

Maybe my IP is banned somehow?


That is super weird. Try Port checking tool and see if your port 8333 (or your custom port) is open and the website can see it from there. There is no way to ban someone from bitcoin network. Nodes can deny requests from certain ip ranges, but it is nearly impossible that every node in the world would block your requests  Grin

If the port is open and you get the message, then i suggest moving the bitcoin data folder to some other location on your computer and see if your client connects to any nodes then even.
