Open notepad, and browse to C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Vertcoin
Open (if it's there) or create, if it's not there, a file called vertcoin.conf and paste this into it:
addnode=95.85.62.207
addnode=95.85.61.243
addnode=95.85.11.240
addnode=95.85.2.11
addnode=2.103.238.193
addnode=107.170.12.12
addnode=107.170.12.43
addnode=188.226.137.228
addnode=107.170.12.43
addnode=23.96.51.70
Now close and reopen the wallet and it will sync.

I think I got them all from the earlier posts. I only see 15 connections here, I'm guessing more nodes will still help.
