firewall problem?
I was able to sync about a month ago. I tried again today (0.8.8.6) but cant seem to connect to any peers. I am getting messages such as:
( snip )
2015-Mar-10 07:20:19.571665 [P2P7]STARTED PEERLIST IDLE HANDSHAKE
2015-Mar-10 07:20:19.571665 [P2P7]FINISHED PEERLIST IDLE HANDSHAKE
I don't think I made any changes since last month (when everything worked). Any advice is appreciated!
To the best of my knowledge my firewall settings are the same as they were 37 days ago when I last synced
Does print_cn show anything?
it appears to show an empty list:

are you on windows or linux? if windows, its more likely that something may have changed since you last synced (antivirus update, some type of update, etc).
regardless of platform, I'd suggest reinstall. Just save your old files. You can even run simplewallet from your old folder after you install daemon to new folder.
I reinstalled but am still not able to synch:
initializing p2p server.....
libunbound error: cant bind socket: permission denied for 0.0.0.0
is what I am seeing when I first start the daemon... after it starts I am still getting the same errors as above
