Connection issues
« on: March 21, 2014, 12:16:39 am »
For the past few days, I've been having connection problems.  My server list would show "Can't resolve hostname" and after exiting a few times it would work.  Most of the time I can connect to a few servers, then later when I try to connect to them again after logging out, it says "failed to login :the authentication are currently down for maintenance."  And just today, I tried to log in and there was an unknown host exception error.  I restarted my computer and everything was running great, then the authentication messages appeared when I tried to connect to any server.  I closed my launcher and relaunched it and I'm having problems logging in.  Even worse, most websites I try to go on say "no data received" and I'm ever getting 404s now.  I've tried looking for solutions but a few only work temporarily (restarting computer, relaunching the Launcher, logging out).  So I'd really appreciate some help.

Only thing I can think of is maybe turning off and on your router?

I get this sometimes too. Have you tried this on a different computer?

My other computer broke down due to a virus that got out of control

Apparently it was my firewall blocking Minecraft and a poor DNS connection.  The problem was solved last night.
