No need to thank me, cypherdoc. I feel privileged to be part of Bitcoin and help out where I can.
I strongly believe this will finally bring a huge and positive social change to our society where people aren't enemies and strangers to each other anymore.

I am cant find any way, how bitcoin can turn us to became like "people aren't enemies and strangers to each other anymore".
Its just about the other side. The competition will be even tougher, than its now.
thats why he said he's a dreamer. otoh, money is the life blood and lubricant of the world economy and so much misery and pain has resulted from central bankster counterfeiting and corruption. if btc could rid the world of that scourge alone we very well could be on our way to a far better life.

since i've reconfigured my system, i have kept both the mac and windows versions of the client open. while the mac seems to make consistently more connections, the windows version more rapidly updates the block chain. go figure.
But please look into how to open/forward port 8333 so you don't have to start Bitcoin client with -addnode= switch.
It will help other people to avoid this same problem

Working! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
Like cypherdoc mentioned you need to let your client listen on port 8333.
As a quick fix try closing your client, open up terminal and run

Code:
bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86
A home network - wireless going to a 3M/3M internet connection. Also, I'm now seeing one connection (which is encouraging !!!), but thus far no new confirmations have been added to anything on the list...
open up your 8333 port and direct the ip address at your computers ip address which u can manually set.

Wait, if it's in the client, I just checked the box, but still no connections so far...
Restart the client and give it some time
Did, and let it run for about 25 minutes, but still no connections. Should I let it keep searching for the next few hours, or is there something else I should try?
first, are u on a home network or one that u can control the router from?

How would I do that in Ubuntu? (I'm fairly command-line illiterate :-/)
So I'm having similar issues, and, having read through this thread a few times, and still unsure of how to fix it. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, and I stopped being able to connect with any nodes on friday. I tried installing a newer version of the client (am now running 0.3.21 beta, but still no luck 
. What would be the next step for me?
. What would be the next step for me?what have u tried? have u tried checking the UPnP switch?

I should mention that anybody who just wishes to use bitcoin client on one computer at a time on a home network, should first try enabling "Map port using UPnP" which is in "Settings"->"Options". If you're in luck and your router supports UPnP, you won't need to add nodes/do port forporwarding manually.
iv never had over 8 connections at once. i normally sit around 4.
go thru this thread carefully and listen to everything mewants says.
