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.

This is closed. The ARC wallet now shows that the Goldminenode is ENABLED.

If there are windows users out there, please follow the thread post to be able to setup an ARC masternode using a personal pc and qt wallet.

Will move on another coin and see if this setup is feasible as well.

Hope this helps windows noobs out there who do not want to use a VPS. Grin

Unfortunately even completely dissabling the windows firewall didn't work for me Sad

Still going PRE_ENABLED -> EXPIRED -> NEW_START_REQUIRED
