Borders as in for example the Australian - New Zealand border if each have different phone companies.

They are very far away on account of both being surrounded by lots of ocean Smiley

Can you open a terminal/CMD window and try to launch Electrum from there using the -verbose flag, in order to
see what goes on, including error messages while it tries to connect?

Not even sure if that would work using windows, but worth a try.

It wouldn't work on windows. The python wrapper they use discards any output sent to the terminal.

@Lord varith: A few things to try:

- What color orb icon are you seeing in the bottom right?

- Try changing servers again. To change servers you have to go to tools > network > server tab and uncheck select server automatically and then right click on a server in the list there and choose use server. Did you do that?

-  Do you have a proxy configured on the proxy tab of the network window ? Try disabling the proxy if you have a proxy configured there.
