On windows 7 x64, I fire up Armory, it synchronizes for a few minutes, goes offline for a couple more, then starts syncing again. Like this:

Code:

PS: These errors are because http://bitcoinarmory.com/versions.txt is actually (at least right now) a 404:

Code:
2013-11-18 21:15 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1045 - Could not access latest Armory version information
2013-11-18 21:15 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1046 - Tried: http://bitcoinarmory.com/versions.txt

Bitcoin-Qt has no problem syncing without interruptions, as I ran it standalone and it shows no hiccups.

I have no RPC related errors or warnings in the event log. Google shows less than 10 (irrelevant) results for rpc+bitcoin+armory+offline. I don't understand RPC enough to know where to start. It could be the problem isn't even RPC between the two.
Want to send me a tip? 3EJTcRvvt54rv5Bn44KJbXFc7U2MXACkX9

Sorry, I should have informed this in the OP - there are people out there who would report a problem while running an out of date version. It is 0.88-1beta.

Code:
telnet 127.0.0.1 8332
DOES connect while armory is telling me it's offline.

Your version kind of is out of date.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299684.0

Try this one out and let me know if the issue still occurs.

I was running the the recommended latest version b/c testing releases are not considered latest, AFAIK. But I installed it and I still have the same problem:

The current testing version is actually very stable and entirely better than the latest release. It has even posted on the official website. This is confusing admittedly.

Do you have a bitcoin.conf set? Do you restrict the amount of nodes that can connect to you? Armory doesn't connect to the RPC, it connects as a node through localhost. Also, which version of the bitcoin client are you running?

Bitcooin-Qt is 0.8.5. (I never installed Bitcooin-Qt by itself - only what Armory provided)

bitcoin.conf is default. Never touched it.

I noticed that bitcoind listens on localhost:8332, but Armory's error message (below) led me to believe I had an RPC problem.

Code:
if state == 'OfflineBadConnection':
            return ( \
            'Armory has experienced an issue trying to communicate with the '
            'Bitcoin software.  The software is running in the background, '
            'but Armory cannot communicate with it through RPC as it expects '
            'to be able to.  If you changed any settings in the Bitcoin home '
            'directory, please make sure that RPC is enabled and that it is '
            'accepting connections from localhost.

bitcoin.conf contains only the user/pword.

Actually, when you use auto-bitcoind (the default), Armory does use RPC to connect to it and determine the current synchronization state.  If you manage Bitcoin-Qt yourself (disable the first checkbox in the settings), RPC is never used.  For people with problems like these, I recommend disabling auto-bitcoind in the settings and try running it separately.  Just make sure Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind are fully synchronized before starting Armory.

Thank you, Alan. I got it working now. If you need ANY assistance troubleshooting why this occurs, let me know.

Actually, I claimed it too early. Now that I'm in sync again (was 11 days behind) I got it setup as recommended. Armory-Qt shows Preparing stuck at 1% and the armory icon brings up a balloon in the system tray showing one second "connected", then "disconnected", then "connected" again, ad infinitum.

Gave it another try today. "Preparing" is working, but they still disconnect/connect every 3 seconds or so. The new thing I've noticed is that Armory-Qt does not show offline in the main window - it only keeps chugging along with "Preparing". The disconnect/connect notices come from the tray icon only.

With Armory running, go to File > Export log file, and email it to us at support@bitcoinarmory.com

Update: now that the DB is done syncing, the disconnect/connect notice now shows on armory itself (along with the system tray)
