I just finished building my new pc yesterday, and after downloading java I decided to start up minecraft to christen the new computer...."can't connect to minecraft.net". I had a friend log on to minecraft on their computer to see if the servers were up - and they were able to log in. I can log in on my laptop still. Just not on this computer.
After reading various threads from people who were having this problem, I pinged minecraft.net and the 4 test packets were lost and had no idea where to go from there.
I'm using windows 8, have java downloaded and it works on my laptop that's using the wireless in my house. I don't know where to go from here.
Edit: I also attempted to just use the in browser minecraft. After I finished downloading everything it stayed stuck about an inch away from having a finished load bar, didn't move after it downloaded everything.
