I finally got this issue sorted on my laptop. For two days was getting the “Connecting to Network” message. After searching a lot online found the solution on the Daedalus FAQs. IT appears Daedalus is extremely time-sensitive. The FAQ specifically states “If the time on the user’s machine is off by 20 seconds or more from the internet time it is not possible to connect to the network”. So adujsted the clock and voilá!!! Problemo solved!!! Hope it helps
