Usually that is a symptom something is wrong with your boot key.
Try setting
nis.shouldAutoHarvestOnBoot = false
Hey, jack. Good to see you again.
I changed that setting - now, when I mouse hover over the icon in system tray, it's all green: fully synced, NCC running. Right click, open in browser: NIS not available. Can't login. Stoner21 from IRC hoped you'd be available to solve this one for me (he said something about a similar issue when he began running nodes)
Appreciate the help - I'd really like to get this thing up and running!
