0 active connection to bitcoin network (testnet)

1

I am working with the testnet. I downloaded the bitcoin-core application on Linux and I am running the version Bitcoin Core version v0.12.1.0-g9779e1e (64-bit) I was able to download the bitcoin block, recently its no longer syncing with the bitcoin network. Its showing 3 days behind and 0 active connection to the bitcoin network. How can I fix the issue. I want to connect to the testnet. I tried to change the network settings in the application. Still its not working.

I think that may be the same issue as you are asking about in your other question.

@Murch May be there is some issue when I updated to the latest version (0.12.0). I deleted the block chain for version 0.12.0 and download the full block chain again for 0.12.1.jgm 2016-04-26T19:55:30.277

You probably wouldn't even have to have deleted the chain, just updating the version would probably have allowed your Bitcoin Core to reorganize. Anyway, did that solve your problem?Murch 2016-04-27T12:30:59.097

@Murch Yes working now. I found a solution from an another forum link

This worked for me:

addnode 185.28.76.179:18333 

This "well connected testnet node" was suggested to me here.
