Can't connect Electrum to a Network so that I can receive my bitcoins I've looked everywhere for an answer but can't find the right one for my situation. I'm using the linux based tails OS with persistent setup with my electrum wallet. Everything works fine and LBC shows my (test) funds of 0.0011 transferred, yet there's nothing in my wallet even after 45 minutes. Blockchain shows my transactions as complete with 17 confirmations yet still nothing in my electrum wallet. I'm guessing this is because my electrum wallet cannot connect to a network for some reason. I read similar stories but am not sure if it's particular to my problem since I'm using Tails. 

Any advice would be welcome!
It sounds like you need to tell Tails to allow the Electrum client to connect through Tor.

There are very good guides already here and here.
