it's now been over 1.5 hour since i delete the files in appdata while keeping the wallet and conf.
still, 0 active connections.
conf has the nodes from op.
I had the same 0 connection problem on 4 different PC's...here's what worked for me:
Edit your Dreamcoin.conf and REMOVE ALL of the OP's addnode entries EXCEPT addnode=107.170.234.82
Save your Dreamcoin.conf to the same folder that your dreamcoin-qt.exe is in...
Delete everything EXCEPT your wallet from your AppData\Roaming\Dreamcoin folder...
Now start your dreamcoin-qt.exe and you should have connections...
Good luck.
thanks. i tried that as well. no joy.
still 0 active connection.
i don't have any other wallet running besides dreamcoin.
I just installed a wallet on a machine that's never had one. I have 17 connections and it is syncing fine.
I used the conf file that comes with the download. Placed it in the appdata /roaming/dreamcoin folder.
I think your firewall maybe blocking you from network access...

i am guessing problem has to do with port and that is beyond my capabilities. unless i am guided, of course.
in the early age of dreamcoin, i had wallet working fine at work(xp) and at home(vista).
then came a time when for some reason wallet just wouldn't start up at home(vista) but worked fine at work(xp).
last week, wallet would start up at work but stay out of sync and at home same problem as before(not starting up.)
this week, i deleted all files in appdata, except for conf and wallet, at work and started up the wallet.
as of today, still not syncing.
but, at home, i did exactly the same. deleted all files except for conf and wallet.
started up the wallet and it did start up just fine, unlike before when it just would not start up, and synced quick enough.
i don't know what else to try now.
i am glad that the wallet is working at home and not dead on both ends.
