New node; Lots of problems. Please help <3

Hi folks,

I have a new node I installed with a 20 TB Enterprise HDD plugged into a windows 10 pro Mini PC with 8 GB Ram and plugged in with ethernet to my spectrum router.

Earlier I had to move some of my office equipment around and the drive came unplugged from the adapter. I’ve fixed and restarted the drive.

-Now I can’t start the storagenode service and I get an error message that the info.db file cant be found on my USBHDD.
-Also I dont think DUC is working properly because it isn’t starting when I start windows.

  • Is there any way I could ask someone to help me figure out my correct IP for a network behind a NAT I cant for the life of me seem to figure this out.

Here is the last 30 lines from my log if its helpful:

You may recreate it:

However, please make sure that it’s a correct data location (you do not have a duplicate of blobs folder somewhere else).
You may figure out your gateway this way: Step 3. Setup Port Forwarding - Storj Docs
If you are in doubt, please post result of the command:

ipconfig

Please place result between two new lines with three backticks, like this:

```
here results

It will only start after login to your session, so it’s better to configure updater for NoIP on your router (it’s usually under DDNS section).
