[joyyen]

i am using window 7 32bit

because of hardisk failure i have to buy a new hardisk and reinstall window 7 and IXCOIN

but after reinstall i have found that IXCOIN show 0 connection and 0 block !

i have tried to delete all the database except wallet.dat reopen the IXcoin qt but it is not working though !

it is not moving or downloading any block !

can anyone help ? am i missing anything ?

[markm]

Are any other coins working?

If not maybe you simply have a firewall activated or something like that.

My Ixcoin daemon has 7 connections right now so there are definitely people still out there running it.

Ix is a little flakey at times. Sometimes I'll see 0 connections, while other times I'll get 12+ connections. Just try again later I'd say.

Change the first and second DNS at your network settings to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS servers).
Then go to command prompt and type (start -> run -> CMD):

ipconfig /flushdns

Then start the Ixcoin client.

Worked for me.
Can change them back after downloading the blockchain.

These are the correct steps.

Did you try to reboot your router/modem too?

[joyyen]

yes i have restart my modem and router ! and it is still the same result !

0 connection 0 blocks

i tried to msg the founder but he seems no online !

[romerun]

I believe it's just internet. I had the same 0 thing, after switching to another wifi hot spot, I was able to sync all the blocks

[joyyen]

i really need help i raise the bounty to 0.20btc for those who can help me solve this problem !

[Shad3dOne]

sounds like a connection issue.

have you checked the settings in your ixcoin.conf file?

can you connect to the internet with a web browser?

is the correct port open on your router and firewall for ixcoin?


hope this helps.

If you have not turned off IRC then it should eventually find someone with an open port in the IRC channel. How many hours has it sat there without ever finding a connection?

[joyyen]

i have no problem before i format my computer !

but after i have format my computer and reinstall ixcoin it cannot find any connection !

how to set port forwarding for ixcoin ?

i can connect to any internet browser !

i dont know anything about IRC and i have already open more than 3 days without a single connection !

i tried at any computer at my home result are the same cannot find any connection !

could be a firewall issue ? even i have close antivirus program i still cannot get any connection !

and i have no problem for getting bitcoin and namecoin connection but just ixcoin !

Try adding -addnode=198.154.60.183 on the commandline or put addnode=198.154.60.183 in the config file.

Ok so maybe you are using Windows or Mac or some other kind of Graphical User Interface / Desktop-metaphor?

You should be able to right-click the icon, or the menu, or click on some kind of "edit your menus" or "edit your icons" thing, and see the command that gets run when the icon is clicked or the menu item is picked. It will be a line of text starting with something like "C:/somplace/something/whatever/ixcoin" or "/usr/local/bin/ixcoin" or some such thing. Add the " -addnode=whatever " to that line. If adding it the end causes and error add it right after the "ixcoin" or "ixcoind" (the name of the program". (Notice I included spaces around the -addnode thing, indicating that by put it right after I mean to leave a space between it and the program name and it and whatever else might be after the program name).

If that doesn't help maybe you need someone familiar with your type of desktop-metaphor to walk you through how your desktop works.

You could also try looking in your help or manual system to see if it mentions whether your system has any kind of "find a file by name" function, maybe "file search" or "locate" or "find" or something like that.

Some systems might refer to the edit-an-icon functionality as "properties", where you get to see the "properties" (characteristics) of the icon or of what the icon (or menu item) does or the thing represented or referred to by the icon (or menu item); edit of those characteristics might be inside the routine that displays them to you (the "properties" or "characteristics" type of window/display/popup).

Are you using anything like Norton Internet Security? Some of those anti-virus programs can cause problems with programs that connect to the Internet. Try disabling or even uninstalling the antivirus if you have one.

Edit: I see you already tried my above suggestion. What happens when you ping the IP address that mark posted?

Click Start > Type 'cmd' and press enter > Type 'ping 198.154.60.183' and press enter

I noticed that you mentioned none of the computers in your house can connect to Ixcoin. Are they all Windows 7 computers? It's possible that the problem may be with your router.
