So I've been playing on my own dedicated linux server for a couple of years now.
All of a sudden this morning I was unable to authenticate to Mojang servers from my server. I tried from my home, and from work, both give the same error upon attempting to the server.
Looking for troubleshooting help.

Error on server:
[18:26:13] [Server thread/INFO]: com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile@31dcd00[id=<null>,name=username,properties={},legacy=false] (/ip:46221) lost connection: Disconnected
[18:26:50] [User Authenticator #2/INFO]: Disconnecting com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile@31dcd00[id=<null>,name=username,properties={},legacy=false] (/ip:46221): Authentication servers are down. Please try again later, sorry!
[18:26:50] [User Authenticator #2/ERROR]: Couldn't verify username because servers are unavailable
Error on client:
Failed to connect to the server. Timed Out
Minecraft server 1.7.10, running Feed the Beast Infinity mod pack 1.4.1
Physical Server:
dedicated blade server, 16GB ram, i7 4820, and almost nothing is running on the server besides the MC server.
Anyway, this is a common problem (and one I've fixed on my own many many times).
Since you used two different computers to try to connect, I'll assume those are fine.
What this problem means, is that your Minecraft server cannot connect to the Mojang Username Authentication servers.
Now, many things could cause that, these are some of the common ones (shut down the MC server first):
1: Obviously, check to make sure your server has a complete, working connection to the internet.
2: Check the hardware AND system time on your Linux server, make sure they are at least within the same minute as realtime. If not, set them both to realtime (this also includes the day, month, and year).
If 2 solved your problem, check the CMOS battery (little watch battery) on your motherboard, it's probably dead. Not a big problem, just an inconvenience, as the time will be off every time the server does not have power.
Try 1 and 2, and see if that fixes it. Those are the easiest solutions, and generally the cause of the problem.

It's actually my old webserver, just not seeing much use anymore, so threw the minecraft server on it to give it something to do
So...looks like my server is having all kinds of authentication issues. Found the time to be off by a lot, tried to log into Cpanel and its giving me errors that it can't authenticate either.
So it turns out the issue was specific to my server (likely...I doubt anyone will encounter this issue) but the problem was after my server rebooted early this morning from a crash. After the reboot CPanel reset some of my network settings to what they were at my hosts previous datacenter, oddly while i could log into the server and hit my website, it was unable to talk to authentication servers.

Having the datacenter team check it out now.
No problem, always glad to help out!
Yeah, let them do that, and post back here if you can, if it works
