I recently had this issue. Not sure what caused or solved it. Searched the forum and seems like a common issue. I tried restart and different things without success. Then i noticed that normal web browsing on the same pc did not work, despite i had network connection for the node. Switched from automatic DNS to manual then browsing worked again. And next time i checked Electrum it was synced. No idea if it was related but things have been ok since…
