Which version of bitmessage are you using? Aren't you getting a notice that:

  • your proxy settings are wrong?
  • your time is wrong?

Freshly installed XP Home SP2, without any updates, downloaded firefox, then bitmessage and it connected right away. I think that there's something wrong with your network settings (or time). Or maybe you are using a VPN, or you have too many other nodes on your LAN already connected to the network. Your maybe you forgot to allow connections in the firewall, or your computer is infected.

Try deleting knownnodes.dat, maybe that will help.

I found out the problem.
If I change settings and try to work in Portable Mode - I have the problem
but for me it is very important to work exactly in Portable Mode.

Well I tried it in portable mode, and it works too. Try deleting knownnodes.dat, that may speed up the initial connection.

I have found in what this problem consisted
When I tried to use Portable mode the path to my files was:
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Рабочий стол\bm

Decision: the path shouldn't contain the RUSSIAN letters
