Your firewall may block outgoing traffic on dest. port 4661/tcp which
is the default server port. But I don't think so because a lot
of servers are listening on different ports. Try 207.44.222.51:4242
or 193.111.198.139:4242 (both ProbenPrinz.de). With newer versions
of mldonkey these servers are usually loaded at startup.

However, most likely the problem is a different one.
What version are you running?
