Host Unreachable
-
Earlier I posted for advice on my inability to get contracts. Now I am seeing a problem that is probably affecting that issue.
I am getting Host Unreachable: Check your UPNP or NAT settings. My internet connectivity is fine. The problem goes away if I exit the UI and restart. Then reappears after a while.
I'm close to removing this HD form Sia and exiling it to Burst mining, please help me sort this out!

If your host is not connecting its due to having the ports 9981 and 9982 closed. If u run router.. open them there and also at any firewall level. This will block the software from allowing you t be a host. But I dont blame you for going to BURST. This is a cluster fuck and a half lol

@moorsc0de Thanks I just saw there was another thread on this issue but I appreciate your help & think Sia hosting is a long way from being user friendly. I took 10TB away from Burst mining for Storj & Sia in the same week Burst gained 20% in value, oh well live & learn :P

@moorsc0de P>S if it's a port issue, why would it connect fine for an hour or so then drop?!
-
@ArthurPug piece of shit interface.... it is what it is.
-
@ArthurPug or do you have an dynamic IP?
-
@moorsc0de I think my IP changes when i reboot router. Not to worry, my SIa days are over. Thanks for your help.

I had the same problem and found the solution: In the windows application in the terminal window type: "host config netaddress xxx.myfritz.net:9982" (exchange the dynamic address obviously!)
then reannounce your host and it works after for example a 24 hour reconnect accompanied by a new IP.
Best wishes from Germany, land of the dyn ip ;)
