Description

I'm using the 3.3.4 Electrum version and downloaded it two days ago. I have tried troubleshooting by manually entering network addresses as well as selecting a network from the list disabling auto connect first. The best I have gotten is "synchronizing." I am new to having and using a bitcoin wallet but have been using Ubuntu for years. Can anyone please tell me any additional troubleshooting steps I can try or the possible reasons that it won't connect to the network.
