Minecraft Forums

I updated my Minecraft to the new launcher and everything works perfect no lag no anything but I wanted to play multiplayer so I tried to go on my favorite server and it says Communication Error but when I try joining it says:
java.net.SocketExeption: Permission denied:connect


This happens with all the servers I have which are like 20. The thing is that when i try going to the old launcher it says the server is 1.6.2 so it's something to do with the new launcher.

This is what it says in the console when I join a server

Try allowing Minecraft through your Firewall, or running Minecraft.exe as an administrator.

Thank you JJ8X9. I tried this but it did not work. Thanks again for your time.
