Satoshi tells Bohm his node has been connected to 70.113.114.209 since the day before; if Bohm is not connected to it, he can't connect out either. The IP was later traced as likely Dustin Trammell's.
Satoshi's candid reply to Bohm's connectivity issue, admitting there may be no other nodes running at that moment. He encourages Bohm to keep his server online so new users have someone to connect to.
Bohm reports to Satoshi that Bitcoin has failed to establish any connections for the last day or so, despite restarts. The next day he told Satoshi he usually had 3 to 5.
Satoshi advises Bohm to forward port 8333 on his new router so his Bitcoin node can receive incoming connections: if nobody online can accept them, nodes can't connect at all.
Nicholas Bohm, a retired British solicitor and early Bitcoin user, writes to Satoshi that after installing a new router, his Bitcoin client can no longer connect to the network.
Bohm answers Satoshi's offer to look at his debug.log: Bitcoin runs and generates, but the NOD32 antivirus reports it as a virus, and the client crashed four or five times the day before.
