I have the EXACT same error! Using Debug - Not capable goldminenode: Could not connect to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7209'

When I use qt wallet and run goldmine node - it goes pre-enabled, then expired, then I restart again.
I can see on the https://arcticcoin.org/en-EN/goldmine-list that it's active then expired after 20-30 minutes.

I'm using a VM Win2012-64bit. PoS is working with coins. Stable fixed IP and internet.

When I do a netstat -a, I can see IP's connecting to my VM machine using port 7209.

I'll try to get this resolved first -> http://ping.eu/port-chk/ (It says port 7209 is still closed from the outside)

Will post if I get to resolve this... If anyone running from own computer/network and is able to resolve this, appreciate it if you can share. Thanks!

Oh yea thats the other thing I forgot to mention, when I use external port testers like the one above (ping.eu) they all report that my port is open. I also tried with upnp both disabled and enabled but it didn't seem to make a difference.

If you haven't already you will need to forward the port on your router and add an exception to your firewall.

Thanks. i have already done firewall port opening allowing to-fro port 7209. Using VM, I also used NAT Bridge IP.
Last and most important change is to turn-off windows firewall.

goldminenode status is Enabled. I will know in 30 minutes if this really resolved the problem. Will post again.

Thanks for the info. Haven't tried it because I had already started my goldmine on AWS.

Also, arent you worried that you have to turn off your windows firewall?
