Hey there,  
can you look through your node.log for information somewhat like Incoming connection detail from IP xxxx? You can force those messages by stopping and restarting participation nodes on the network and looking inside the Relaynode logs.  
In addition, are config.json correctly configured? They should differ in relay and participation node.  
If you do goal node status in all the nodes the ledger (last committed round) should progress on all the nodes.
