How do you create a wallet with MultiBit?
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.
