Please fix the error and restart.

minecraft.net could be blocked by the firewall, or your internet connection is not working. check both.

internet is working, and firewall doesn't even have it on the list...

i accidentally deleted all of my minecraft files trying to re-start it. I think they were corrupted, but i can't get them back now. I need to re-install minecraft. How do i do that?

none, apparently...

Hi,

You absolutely do have something blocking the connection.

Most-likely an antivirus or a firewall.

Please download and run this program.

When you open it, it will give you multiple options, press "I accept" then select "Scan and save to a log file".

After a while it will give you a text file, open that, copy all the text, copy that over to http://pastebin.com/ , hit "Submit" and give us the URL it takes you to.

I have the same problem, i followed your steps and it took me to this site http://pastebin.com/zL9TiZka Help?

Hi,

In your case you should uninstall / disable AVG and McAfee.

Hi,

You have ESET which is causing this.

Please do the following:

ESET Security has a feature that interferes with minecraft's ability to connect to minecraft.net. First, open the advanced setup and follow this diagram: http://kb.eset.com/l...3076FIG1-3C.png

Then, try to login to minecraft. ESET will open a window asking what to do, press EXCLUDE.

If it does not work, then go back and select "Do not scan".

what about me????

dude thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a similar problem and this is from my minecraft error log: http://pastebin.com/TYQA6tx7
I have mac os X v 10.6.8 and java version v 1.6.0_51.
I have tryed it on another network, and on an administrator user.

I can't find my firewall and can't get permission no matter what.
