Your second node is offline. Please, check its identity: ```auto (sls BEGIN $env:AppData\Storj\Identity\storagenode\ca.cert).count (sls BEGIN $env:AppData\Storj\Identity\storagenode\identity.cert).count ``` The signed identity must return 2 and 3 respectively. If your identity is not signed, you should sign it with a second one-time authorization token. To receive a new one you should subscribe to the waitlist with a different email address. ---

Got same problem, my identity is authorized. Win10pro, brand new Windows GUI installation, identity created and signed before align with the documentation. Node is ONLINE in localhost:14002, but he gets some errors, and no traffic: Edit: lol what happend, i check localhost:14002 and it was offline, so i portchecked again and it was reachable, then i see node started being ONLINE and started doin some traffic, lol, does that means the new node need some plumbing with port signal to help him start? lol EDIT2: he is ONLINE but strugling with that: “ERROR contact:chore pingSatellites failed {“error”: “rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = transport is closing”}” EDIT3: confirmed if i refresh localhost:14002 after some time, its shows its offline again, and nothing changed, internet connection is still.

noip only keeps your DDNS. The port is forwarding by router. So, I would recommend to start from there. > [@My Node is OFFLINE for 2 hours](https://forum.storj.io/t/my-node-is-offline-for-2-hours/736/2): > > It should connect in seconds. There are a few things you should check. Start with checking the port. On [https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/?port=28967](https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/?port=28967) you can fill in the domain or IP you are using in the run command. Then check the port. If it’s closed, it could still be several things. Make sure the WAN IP you see in your router settings matches the IP shown on the above page. Make sure your port forward is set up correctly. That means no filter on incoming IPs, forwarding to th… ---

So I’ve been doing some testing and updating of my linux node at home, I’ve managed to mess things up pretty badly. I have a wired connection on 192.168.1.46 and a wireless connection that I have disabled currently. I’m using the no-ip service to get an external address, which is specified in the docker startup options. When I start it up, I get this message: ```auto 2019-10-24T17:42:44.869Z INFO version running on version v0.23.5 2019-10-24T17:42:46.142Z ERROR contact:chore pingSatellites failed {"error": "rpc error: code = Internal desc = contact: couldn't connect to client at addr: subwolf.ddns.net:28967 due to internal error."} ``` If I try to connect from another server to that address and port: ```auto subwolf@localhost:/ext$ telnet subwolf.ddns.net 28967 Trying 2.98.183.99... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused ``` If I perform a netstat: ```auto root@subwolf-tk:/media/subwolf/Games/storj# netstat -a | grep 28967 tcp6 0 0 [::]:28967 [::]:* LISTEN ``` I’m probably missing something obvious? ---

I verified the port is forwarded in the router as well, so very confused. ---

Please [check](https://www.myip.com/) your router ip, it should be equal [your ddns](https://network-tools.com/#search=network&search=subwolf.ddns.net&target=_8&form=ntscform&base10toip=false) name ip. ---

Hello @Realistickz, Welcome to the forum! Please, check everything from this check list: > [@My Node is OFFLINE for 2 hours](https://forum.storj.io/t/my-node-is-offline-for-2-hours/736/2): > > It should connect in seconds. There are a few things you should check. Start with checking the port. On [https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/?port=28967](https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/?port=28967) you can fill in the domain or IP you are using in the run command. Then check the port. If it’s closed, it could still be several things. Make sure the WAN IP you see in your router settings matches the IP shown on the above page. Make sure your port forward is set up correctly. That means no filter on incoming IPs, forwarding to th… ---

I just had the same problem. Got an email saying my node was offline. I edited config.yaml and fixed the IP. I also added the port, which wasn’t present originally. My node is working again yay. Thanks ---

Hello @aquarat, Welcome to the forum! If your public IP is dynamic, please, use the DDNS address instead. In this case the address will be updated automatically: [https://documentation.storj.io/dependencies/port-forwarding#setup-dynamic-dns-service-hostname-configuration](https://documentation.storj.io/dependencies/port-forwarding#setup-dynamic-dns-service-hostname-configuration)
