Ok. I am reporting back after 24 hours. I have let the wallet I downloaded, the one in the .rar archive, run for 24 hours and it is still not connecting. I have four other wallets running on this machine and I thought maybe one might be interfering so I shut the others down. FIC wallet is still not connecting to the network. I need some assistance.
I would try the wallet that is on the site in the .zip archive but when I download that one I cannot open it with Windows Extractor tool or 7Zip. Both programs say that the archive file is either invalid or empty. 7Zip actually asked me for a password when I tried opening it with that program.
Any ideas folks?
