But the wallet keeps giving me this error. Been like for a couple of days now. Restarted both many times plus the whole PC. Wasn't running latest versions but is now with no improvement. On Win 7. I haven't changed any settings.



Try opening a cmd shell and command "netstat -a" with daemon running.

Look for a line like
Quote
  TCP    127.0.0.1:23081        MyHost:0              LISTENING

If you don't find it then your daemon is not listening for connections on the required port. If you do find it then there must be something preventing your wallet from opening the port, probably antivirus/firewall. Try a temporary disable of the firewall/antivirus if that's the case to verify if the firewall/antivirus is the culprit. If it is then you need to add an exclusion.

It's Windows firewall that's causing the problem, even though there is an exclusion set for it. I have the same annoying problem with the tor browser.

If I disable the firewall and start the daemon and wallet I can then re-enable it after they sync and it will work fine.

Aah, the joy of computers....
