Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate - Service Pack 1
MultiBit HD Version: 0.1.0

Every time i try go on my wallet, the password gets accepted but the wallet never connects to the peers.
I have tried port forwarding...
I have tried Repairing Wallet...
I have tried disabling all firewalls / avs...
I have tried resetting Router...
I have cleared everyone on internet explorer...
I have flushed dns and updated Policy...
I have reinstalled MultiBit and Java...
I have restarted my pc...

The thing that bugs me the most is that it was working perfectly 10 hours ago or so.


I later realised the problem was the bitcoin wallet was on use tor "on".
Turned that to off and perfect. Fixed the error.

While the issue was resolved by OP it highlights a user interface issue. An alert bar should appear if a Tor connection cannot be made within a reasonable time (perhaps 60s).

Closing this in favour of full solution in #633.
