thank you to both doood and mewantsbitcoins. I'll do what you suggest about the port fowarding. I'll let you guys know the result when i've reached 123 124 blocks.

thanks again both of you.

UPDATE: Blocks reached 123124 and I have received the bitcoins in my wallet. Thanks everyone!

Hello again,

I see it now. So at the bottom right it shows right now: 8 connections (stuck at that number for a while), and 113666 blocks (this number is slowly going up), 0 transactions.

So when my blocks hit 123124 should I then receive the coins?

Thanks again

Once blockchain is up to date, you'll see your balance.

Regarding connections, your port forwarding obviously is not working. I'd suggest disabling manual port forwarding and enabling it in the bitcoin client. You can find it in Settings>>Options>> check "Map port using UPnP"

Hi doood,

thanks for your reply. Last time the client got stuck at 8 connections. But after doing some researching, I disabled microsoft security essentials and I THINK i've added port 8333 to my router. Connections are currently at 7 as we speak.

Regarding the up-to-date block chain, i'm not quite sure how to check that sorry.

It should say it on the status bar next to the number of connections... something like:

8 connections 123124 blocks 546 transactions

You can then see what the latest block-count is here: http://blockexplorer.com
It currently shows 123130

But the bitcoin client/program says Balance: 0.00.

Is the client program getting any/many connections, and is it's block chain up-to-date (currently 123,124)?
