This is disaster. I bought coins for MN, but for two days I can't make it to work. I can't pass Not capable masternode: Could not connect to xxx obstacle.

I have:
- Windows 10
- Desire Core version v0.12.2.1-ge537a31 (32-bit)
- Sentinel release v1.1.0.1 (64-bit)

I tried to setup it by following 2-3 manuals, but I didn't manage to make it to work.
And then when nothing was working I was sending my coins back to exchange deleting wallet and conf folder and then doing every manual from the beginning. Was reading every last 30 pages on this thread.
I was even following advice to send 10 DSR MN address, but that also didn't help.
More than once fixing wallet with sentinel option #2, didn't help.
Running Sentinel with all 3 ways. Sentinel is working, because it has connection with wallet. It knows when wallet is not fully synced.
Rebuilding wallet index...
I was trying to leave the wallet locked and to unlock it. Didn't help.
Was checking are ports open and they are.
Leaving MN for 24 hours in WATCHDOG_EXPIRED status, but nothing was changed.
IP address in desire.conf and masternode.conf are the same and it is IP taken from www.whatismyip.com

Here are screenshots where you can see my current situation.

I am now out of options. Read desperate.

Any idea or suggestive advice? Smiley

Thank you.
Since you're setting it up with a single wallet try this.
1. Stop Sentinel
2. Setup your masternode.conf file according to the manual.
3. restart your wallet
4. Start you masternode from the Masternodes - My Masternoides tab
5. In the debug window type masternode status and make sure your masternode is started.
6. Run the Sentinel and make sure it produces no errors
7. Wait

At step 5 I am getting Not capable masternode: Could not connect to.
Can't have it in status Started. Sad

What type of internet connection are you on?  I believe there is something that must be done with the router for it to work on your windows computer. I wasn't able to get it to work on my home comp because I don't have access to the router.. anyway, instead of having my computer on all day, I use hostmns.net service for $5 a month. I like that I can have my coins locked on my computer at home but it doesn't have to be on. Also, I have a few masternodes (each getting 10 per day) and since they need to be on different ip's anyways, the hosting service makes sense.  You could hook it all up yourself on ubuntu but I think it will still cost close to $5/month..

My Internet connection is provided by TV cable operator. It is with static IP.
If look at last screenshot on (https://imgur.com/a/MuB0K) you will see that connections are established on port 9919. Which I guess means that port is open.

Just to add that port is also open in firewall.
And when I am starting wallet, MN is in status PRE_ENABLED. And after it finishes with synchronization MN will go to status WATCHDOG_EXPIRED.
Those are the only two statuses that I was seeing! Smiley
What do you do to start the masternode?

I was starting the masternode from Masternode tab and from Console. Every time I will got message that MS is started successfully.
But status will be "Not capable..."
It seems you did everything right.
Can you check if the port 9919 open at canyouseeme.org?

I am getting message
Error: I could not see your service on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on port (9919)
Reason: Connection timed out

But I am getting same message when I am checking another port for different coin MN.
