i have the same problem.....
i can tell you that it isnt the firewall because mine is turned off

Okay, it may be connection issues with your computer, I'm not on a mac, and i have had those problems before. It is sometimes to do with connection issues. [Will be your mac not getting good reception from the server] Try Restarting your Connection, or post your problem on the servers website.[/b]

CaptainMaloneMy friend and I are both using MacBooks. We both updated Minecraft to the most current version. We are both attempting to connect to a server. We double-checked that we had typed in the same server information. His computer connects almost instantly, unless the server is full (in which case, of course, it gives a "server full" error.) My computer says that it can't reach the server and times out if I try to connect anyways. I am able to connect to other servers just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Jeb will probably fix that in the 1.3 update IM sure i promise you THAT in august 1
he will fix that i know it. so Be happy and tell your friend.

I would suggest shutting down your computer, wait for a few minutes, then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, check your Internet connection.

Doesn't anyone have any ideas at all?

After spending quite some time researching port forwarding, I have found that it would only help me if I were attempting to create a server using my private LAN. This is not what I am trying to do. I am trying to connect to someone's server.

Can someone who has read my original post please offer a word of help? I am getting quite frustrated.

mine did the same thing. Try port forwarding

i tryed it wudent work for me also so its not with u its with the serve

The server is SkyBlock.net. I am fairly certain that it is not a Hamachi server; I have not found any information anywhere saying that it is. I am able to connect to other servers, but want to join my friend in doing the work he has already started on the server. I have restarted my computer. "We both updated Minecraft to the most current version," meaning that I reinstalled it before trying to connect. However, I have also tried reinstalling Minecraft twice since. "We double-checked that we had typed in the same server information," and I have checked it every time I tried.

"...do evrything right..."
I went through the exact same process on his computer and was able to connect. I am NOT doing something wrong, there is an error with my computer. I am looking for someone who has had the same problem to tell me what I need to change about my computer's settings in order to connect.

is the server hamachi

ok then do this Find another server or Restart your computer reinstall minecraft check ip do evrything right login

Hey can i join the server and do this


Ip localhost
Works for evry computer IF ITS YOUR SERVER

I'm not sure what you mean by "hopefully they will fix that." The issue clearly isn't caused by the fact that I'm on a MacBook, since my friend and I have exactly the same computer. Thank you for your response, though. It's good to at least know that someone is seeing this post.

Same too im on a macbook and i can't either. but hopefully they will fix that.

Bumping again. I don't want to be a nuisance, but I really would like some help.

For further clarification, we tried switching computers- he logged in on mine and I on his. I could access the server from his computer and he could not access it from mine. Therefore, it is definitely a problem with my computer; I am not blacklisted from the server or anything like that.

I tried again this morning, and things are still the same. I had half a hope that waiting would change something, but no luck.

Bumping maybe?
