user10497: I just downloaded MultiBit for Windows and I am trying to create a wallet. When I click that, nothing happens.  It just says "connecting" on the bottom left status bar. No wallets are seen.
Well, I did that (clicked "create wallet") and nothing happened.  The wallet file shows up in the correct spot on my desktop (the .wallet file I mean...) but nothing show up in the wallet column on the app itself.
Perhaps my firewall is blocking something?  on the bottom left it does not say "connected".


user2915: To create a wallet in MultiBit:

Open MultiBit.
Click on "New Wallet"

Enter a proper name for your wallet.

Wallah! A wallet!


It sounds to me like you're having connection troubles, though. Are you behind a firewall, proxy, or anything that could interfere with your connection? Consider trying a new internet connection.
