Mine did that once I just had to restart the client a couple times.
If on windows go to appdata roaming feathercoin and make a feathercoin.conf with this in it and restart your client if your on linux then hopefully you know where to put the feathercoin.conf.
rpcpassword=password
server=1
daemon=1
rpcport=8100
rpcport=8101
Also make sure port 9336 is open on your firewall or router.
I have tried all of this but still cannot seem to get a connection.
