This is freshly installed node. I’ve tried updating to nightly but still nothing.  
Any ideas?

Can you share the `fuelup show` output from your terminal?

and this is when switched to the stable version:

the problem persists in both cases.

We changed the name of the network, so you need to download a new [chain-configuration/ignition at master · FuelLabs/chain-configuration · GitHub](https://github.com/FuelLabs/chain-configuration/tree/master/ignition) and restart the node with a new configuration to continue following the network.

We changed from Fuel Ignition to Ignition.

I think I figured it out. Is there a way to see the status of my node?

My current logs look like this but I believe it only one node causing the negotiation failure.

What do you mean by status of the node here?
