Bitshares-ui won't connect to my test private node

[Kati]

I'm trying to connect my private test network using bitshares-ui:

  ws://11.22.33.44:5555

The wallet claims that my net is down, although nmap which i'm running via the internet shows that the port and address are accessible:

Code: [Select]

  PORT      STATE SERVICE   VERSION
  5555/tcp open  websocket WebSocket++ 0.7.0
That is, 11.22.33.44:5555 is accessible through the internet

My main and 1st node:

Code: [Select]

witness_node --data-dir /full_path/my_net/data
And cat /full_path/my_net/data/config.ini

Code: [Select]

  p2p-endpoint = 0.0.0.0:5554
  rpc-endpoint = 0.0.0.0:5555
  enable-stale-production = true
  witness-id = "1.6.1"
The node has been running for about a day. Why is the wallet saying that it's down and won't connect/sync?

And sometimes the wallet is saying the opposite -- it's up but "Failed to sync with the API server, Please verify that your computer clock is correct."

Anyway, it still won't connect to and sync with it




p.s.

the ip and port are obfuscated.
