[BUG] Full Node Status in GUI stay Not Synced, possibly after reconfiguring the network

Describe the bug After I stop UI (version 1.0.0), updated to version 1.0.1 and start again, Full Node Status stay {last 7 hours} in state “Not Synced” with no progress. After one hour without reaction, I restarted the system, but still without change.

To Reproduce I really have no idea how this can be reproduced 😦

Expected behavior Status should be “not synced” only if I’m offline (and here it should show when was the last time I was synced). If I’m online, the status should be “syncing” along with information about the status, or maybe “network error” or something similar with an explanation of what to do.

I’m not sure if it’s possible for my system to get up and running, or it will stay that way forever.

The minimum you can do is to create a recommended repair procedure for such cases (after system restart / or in syncing problems). Publish estimated sync times (is 7 hours without any response still okay, or is it already a lot?), and publish it on a wiki or blog. It would be good to write into this article how to bring the application to its initial state in the worst case.

Screenshots Last record in Blocks section is 7 hours old. Connections show two records both from 127.0.0.1, 0.0/0.0 MiB Up/Down Wallet with port 50320/8449 and Farmer with port 50322/8447. Wallets is in status “not synced”, height: 54723, connections: 1. Farm Overview showing status “Not Available”, and there is no records in Last Attempted Proof and Latest Block Challenges.

Chia process doesn’t do anything, sometimes it writes something to disk. the system is not busy at all, it does not communicate over the network.

After checking C:\Users<user>.chia\mainnet directory. Only file changed in last hours is db/peer_table_node.sqlite (last change one hour ago), all other files are 7 hours old.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• OS Version/Flavor: 10

Additional context I checked other bug reports here, but elsewhere the problem is that it is small different in other bug reports (I don’t see the spinner or the syncing state as in other bug reports).

oh indeed. I forced the time of my computer to sync and now everything is OK, back to farming 😃 End of March was time change, that probably explains the issue. Thanks, this issue should be documented or handled somehow with an alert. Hope the problem will be solved for babiboo too.

This is still a problem in v1.1.5. I just restarted the router (power off/on) and it no longer syncing. Forced reload many times already still no sync. I can browse websites so internet connection is fine. What a pain.
