Get error "Sia-UI Wallet error, connect ETIMEOUT 127.0.0.1:9980"

[shermand100]

Pretty much as the title says, a window with that information pops up.

I only host (don't rent) and am wondering if this ip is a renter trying to connect and then dropping? Or is it something more important to my hosting?

Sia appears to function as normal after this error as there is a button to "ok" it to make the dialogue window go away just would like any info?

Cheers

It seems siad is not running. Which OS do you use? Could you check your process explorer if the process siad is running? If you're comfortable with command line, go to the folder where siac is located (UI-FOLDER/resources/app/Sia) and run siac consensus. What do you get?

Thanks for your quick reply/

I'm running it all on a windows 7 64 pc. On bringing up processes Siad is running. So i guess thats good news.

And by going through cmd and navigating to the folder for siac e censensus seems good

Synced: Yes
Block: (loads of leading zeros can't be bothered to type)
Height: 66865
Terget: (Lots of groups of numbers in pairs too long to type)

But i guess the important bit is that it's synced and at the correct block height. I checked with explore.sia.tech when i did the consensus to confirm the block height is correct.

Am I to assume there is nothing to worry about then? And if in future I get any errors to perform those checks you said and all should be good?
Once again thanks for your help,
Dan
