Bitcoin client won't connect to the network I installed Bitcoin QT yesterday and it was very slow to connect to the network. It didn't actually get there for over an hour.

Today I opened it again and it won't connect to the network at all. Any ideas why?

I'm running a Macbook Air with all software updated.
You should get the best results if you port forward port 8333 to your laptop. It is also advised to leave your computer on for a long time the first time you connect to the network, as it has about 1GB of data to download and check. After that the operation should be easier.
