I'm new to this. I've installed mist and everything working fine. I start farming and i dont see any updates on my wallet. After much google, it might cause by my geth is not sync with my mist. So i've installed GETH 1.5.9 . I've enter Geth -removedb , and i've enter again geth -fast . Alot of txt keep running, it's been a day + , and maybe i've missed any word that shows it's sync. So i try run my mist and this error popup.

Again , i've tried geth.exe --nat=extip:my public ip. it start to run on geth . but i tried to run mist, it still gives me the same error. my mist is 0.8.9 installed version. Please help coz im stucked here .

Research direction
Investigate the error handling for Mist's connection to Geth. The issue describes the user running geth fast and geth nat=extip but still getting an error. Check Mist's source code for node connection logic, particularly in the `mist interface` or `node connector` modules. Also verify Geth version compatibility (1.5.9) with Mist 0.8.9.
