Stuck at "Starting Server"
JMAHH
✭Member Posts: 5 ✭
Hi, I'm on Windows 7 and have successfully built the genesis block, according to the console.
However it gets stuck at Starting Server:
And if I try something like "geth console" it just gets me the same.
Version
Geth
Version: 1.0.0
Protocol Versions: [61 60]
Network Id: 1
Go Version: go1.4.2
OS: windows
GOPATH=
GOROOT=C:\Go\
Is this a network issue? It just doesn't seem to connect.
Edit: btw I did exactly the same on Mac and it worked. On Windows I don't even get the user agreement when I load the genesis block.
However it gets stuck at Starting Server:

I forget the port 30300 or something ask around
If I do it with windows, geth tells me both have been mapped but they do not show up in the router list.
JMAHH one good test i have found to resolve network issues is turn off the firewall on the router and on windows completely to see if that is where your issue is is , only do this for the short duration of your test of course and turn it back on once you have determined if the issue is with your network i.e if it starts working after both are off.
then you can work backwards to isolate where the actual issue is.
the UPnP thing could be overblown basically its the multicast setting. Check if your router has a multicast setting and if it does turn it on for all IPS , if it does not have multicast (which i cant imagine it wont for a modern router) then thats not your problem.
Note: On Windows 10 you may need to activate the Windows Time service from the "Start Menu > Services" and set setup to automatic. Some users report that this service is disabled by default in Windows 10.
you should try that first
Off-topic question: if I run ethminer directly without doing "geth -rpc" first, is that ok? It seems to be working normally.
