Minecraft Forums

Hi guys I really need help. So my computer just doesn't work when I try to play games especially minecraft. When I login it says can't connect to minecraft.net I already looked it up on YouTube but nothing helped. If I try to play minecraft from the browser it says error on the page. I've tried to play many games on this computer but it didn't work. Also when i click on minecraft from my desktop it doesnt even show the news it says loading current news but it never comes up. PLEASE HELP I want to play minecraft sooooo bad. ):

Is your firewall blocking it?
Do you have restrictions put on your router / internet?

When I go to allow a program through the firewall minecraft Isn't even there and I played minecraft before on this Internet but on a different laptop

Minecraft shows up as java.

and when it says can't connect to minecraft.net play offline is blacked out and under it it says (Not downloaded)

Did you buy the game?

yes

Try to go to minecraft.net if that works it's the client so double check if java.exe and javaw.exe are allowed in your firewall.

Make sure Java is updated. And that you have a stable internet connection.

if I try to play from the browser it says client not found exception

It seems very likely that your problem is related to your firewall. Turn off your firewall completely to ensure that your firewall isn't causing the problem. You can always turn it back on again if turning it off doesn't work.
