There's not a lot we can say to help dude. The conf on the OP is mine and I get 8 connections with it and only run the wallet every couple of days so it has to sync each time so the nodes are there.
Yeah, the wallet has been fine for me. Windows wallet with no config file - just the wallet itself which is connected to 8 peers. It connects up almost immediately on reboot just fine also. One thing I've always liked about this coin is that its wallet has always been incredibly fast - none other have compared.
