I've been having some trouble connecting to Minecraft the past few days. Each time I attempt to login, I receive a "Can't connect to minecraft.net" message.
I've attempted to ping minecraft.net several times from the Command Prompt. No result. 100% packet loss.
My original assumption was that it was my firewall. ESET NOD32 typically has a nice fun time butchering applications. But javaw.exe is set as an exception on any of the ports that Minecraft uses. I've actually allowed it to sit on Learning Mode to set new rules for any new connections. Alas, this didn't work.
So I decided to completely uninstall my Java Runtime Environment. This didn't work either.
I've uninstalled everything in relation to Minecraft, reset everything on NOD32 and allowed it to stay on Learning Mode for Minecraft. Nothing.
I've followed several tutorials, I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be preventing Minecraft connecting on the latest desktop client?
I've found the solution. It was related to ESET NOD32, as I originally thought.
The problem is that the newest Java updates cause ESET to block any incoming/outgoing connections from javaw.
To solve:
1. Open ESET
2. Navigate to Setup
3. At the bottom of the screen, press "Enter advanced setup"
4. Expand Web and Email and Protocol filtering
5. Click on Excluded applications
6. Check off javaw.exe
7. Save settings

Retired StaffIt'll at least help narrow down the problem.
Otherwise it could be the ipv6 issue some users have with java.
ipv6 thread here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1396023-grey-and-html-in-newspanel/
However, attempting to force Java to use IPV4 I came across some interesting errors in the command prompt.
It seems like it's having problems with an SSL handshake. Could it possibly be Mojang's SSL certificates causing an issue?

Retired StaffIs your system clock/date right? Normally I only see SSL issues when I plug in my old laptop and the clock is set back into the 1990's..

And Minecraft will work.
