Thanks Xeroc, I have downloaded the latest version of Bitshares (0.4.24). I don't have any of the previous problems, except now the client does not connect at all. The bars at the bottom right indicate varying numbers of network connections each time I reload, but the words read "not connected".
Get Info yields this:

I have let the client remain open for hours, but it never syncs to allow me to make transactions. Please Advise.
