HI, i am new here, buy really old member form first storj days.
i decided to give storj a go again about 3 months ago but failed. I am running 1 - 5Tb drive, I installed using the video tutorial, but get all the way to the end when i open http://localhost:14002/ I get node offline so checked port, it was offline came down to router issues, Now port is open, but i still get node offline and losing uptime check and still dropping because no band width is being utilised, I recently had a new router and ISP. Doubt this makes any difference, but i couldn’t open port 28967 originally, but now i have since i changed back to old router. I am also successfully running the no-ip app DUC v.4.1.1. which seems to be working ok(All green). Although i suspect this could have something to do with it, i am not sure yet. Do i have to add a port forward for the no ip app. And is there any other port i need to forward. I gave up a few months ago and then checked back last night and noticed some data however small has also downloaded, but still offline.
Can i add, i am on windows 10 in a virtual machine environment. Has anything else had the same issues when using VM

I have used port forward in router, my router allows to open port using application as its a generic router form ISP. Rubbish, but i don;t want to start paying out stacks as it should be possible to still port forward. I had no issues with it on the old storj gui.
Local pc use DHCP or you made static? This is where my knowledge gets vague, how can i check. I do have a connection as i can access the internet from the vm, so assume the host is assigning ip address ok.
Firewall is open on vm, not sure if i opened on local would that make a difference do you think.
duc soft, only make static reference fot your external ip, but inside your local network you need to make static local pc by yourself. Some routers can make leeses, it will give you same ip to this pc all the time.
you dont need to turn off dhcp, just can setup it on you local pc, jus google, and you find how to do it, set the ip that DHCP give it to you, and add DNS 8.8.8.8
gateway is your router ip
Try static your local ip, you can do it from your machine or from your router too.
And make sure that your selected ip isn’t use by another device.
Example: from router side, Setting through DHCP server to reserved an IP for matched MAC address. Such as 172.16.1.62 for AA:BB:CC:DD then do port forwarding which storj’s prefered port with ip 172.16.1.62
When you said change the DNS, Was you referring to the host connection or the vm connection? I found another post about this which is another one i get maybe because of DNS settings. ERROR telemetry failed sending report: lookup collectora.storj.io: no such host
Here: Telemetry faild sending report: lookup collectora.storj.io no such host(solved)
But they also couldn’t ping, but i can from the vm. So why should it not be able to find the host?
Not sure if its the right way but i opened up CMD
Typed: ipconfig/flushdns
I have tried everything, when i setup a static, i lose connectivity to the internet. Nothing loads in browser not even the storj console http://localhost:14002/
I cant connect to satellites is my issue. Which is usually a port forward problem, but the port is open.
did you tried to restart your pc after you flushdns?
and if you make static ip, it shold be same network, you need also to gateway, and dns to be setuped.
can you post your config? no wallet, or email are needed.
