channel - unable to gather or log in

by Guest on 2016/09/26 03:56:00 PM    
I updated to 2.45 last night.  

This morning I noticed that the three channels I subscribe where attempting to connect but not connect.

I stopped the channel and attempted to connect again.  No connect after 10-15 minutes of attempting to connect.

I saved my channel information (a nice export tip?  have something that saves our channel information to a txt file for those that are too slow to copy/paste into a text file their share information :) )

I removed all channels and attempted to gather all channels and at this time nothing is listed in my channels.

what OS?

what does it say on the connections tab under status?

what does it say in the event log of a channel that cant connect?

when you are gathering channels, what does it say in the eventlog for the DHT?

when you are gathering channels, can you see it on the searches tab of the DHT? what is in the status column?

Ok, for some reason now, no matter what port I put in it is being blocked.  No incoming or outgoing connections (thus my other problems I'm assuming).

I've got to look over my firewall/router settings

windows-10

DHT tab - Status - "Started - unconfirmed incoming port"

Transfers zero activity

RSS Feeds - Status "Failed update"
- Event log - "update failed: Network unreachable (10051) > ..."

Channels - Unable to connect / no gathering of new channels.

I'm thinking it's got to do w/ my port so I'm off to investigate.  thanks for the reply!

OK.  Something definitely changed in this version.

In my Settings, Network, Incoming Ports tab.  I had the Randomize port set to change every 4 days and then I upgraded to the new finalized version (2.45).  I didn't notice right away but on my Home Incoming Connections screen my Port was unconfirmed.

I changed the port no go.

I checked my router and then changed the port to allow both tcp/udp for my port and blam all is working once more.

Thanks to the previous poster I was able to see to go straight to the source of my problems.  I rarely look at the home screen so didn't think to check there for status issues - lesson learned there.

My question is, if Tixati randomizes the port would I have to go in and modify my router?  it's a Cox Cable Modem/Router Cisco 3825.

Another silly question:  If I'm using a VPN do I need to change my ports every so often?  of since I'm going through the VPN that part isn't as necessary as it was before?

Thanks again for pointing me into the right troubleshooting method.  Everything is working now and my Incoming connections is "listening / OK" and my channels, transfer and RSS feeds are working again.

Troubleshooting 101.  Thanks!
