Re: Tor not working

[Spin Doctor <nil.bitbucket@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Yes, I have those settings (I'm using the Tor button extension for  
Firefox) and it worked fine yesterday, but today it will not connect  
to any site. I do have the latest stable version with Vidalia  
installed, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
