I believe 55884 is wallet port so it looks like you are trying to connect to 2 ip's and not getting a connection. Yes syn_sent means your system sent a handshake to that port on that address and is waiting on a response.

I just pinged both of those ip's and neither gave a response.

Post your addnode list and make sure you conf file is in your appdata/roaming/noblecoin directory and it is named noblecoin.conf

this is my path for example.
C:\Users\LicheLord\AppData\Roaming\NobleCoin\nobleCoin.conf

I am currently connected to these nodes by default. you can add them by hand if you want.

I don't think your wallet is finding your config file.
