Pi Network Node not running – Solutions

Pi Network Node not running? Here is the solution. Firstly, you should have the correct configuration for Pi Node to run. If your configurations are right, then, you just have to check the status. When checking the status, there are 3 mains states which are :

  1. SYN_SENT (SYNCED – That means your node is working properly and all the IPs you see in the result are now connected to your computer)
  2. ESTABLISHED (That means the IPs you see in the result are now connected to your computer, but NOT SYNCED)
  3. LISTENING (That means your PC ports are OPEN and that you can receive connections from Pi Network Nodes)

If your PiNet node is running properly, you should see something like this

In some countries, after installing correctly Pi Node, as we suggested, you may realize that Pi Node is working, but you are not receiving any incoming connections. In this case, you should contact your internet service provider and tell them that you want a static IP. This service may not be free in some countries. If you need technical assistance, leave an email to info@kotigi.com.

Static IP Vs Dynamic IP: A static IP is a permanent IP address assigned to a device, meaning it never changes. This makes it ideal for tasks that require consistent access, such as hosting websites, running servers, setting up remote access, or using certain VPN services. In contrast, a regular IP—usually a dynamic IP—is assigned by your internet provider temporarily and can change over time. Most home networks use dynamic IPs by default, as they are easier to manage and more cost-effective for ISPs.

How to check the status of your Pi Node

Step 1: Open command prompt CMD

Step 2: Write this command 👇

👉netstat -aon | findstr 3140
