Not that I'm aware of.

Can you paste everything written in the "Server" tab under "Chat" ?

Hm, probably a firewall / peerblock issue. Check these program settings.

I am having this same problem after patching several weeks ago. Not sure why it is now giving me problems, and can't find any setting in firewall that would be blocking it. Sad panda.

EDIT: Ok, I was messing around with some settings and now its working! I have no idea what i did tho lol!
