On this computer I have been using, I have not been able to connect to certain games. This is a older computer, and I just started using it. Upon using, I noticed I can't join certain games (Games with IPs: 123.345.567:910). I am only able to join games with web addresses, instead of IPs. For instance, I was able to join EcocityCraft(mc.ecocitycraft.com)but I can't join my main server (74.63.221.212:25565). I thought maybe it's just the server? So I tried other servers, that I even checked on Enjin.com, and found they were online. Sure enough, if they were numbers, I couldn't connect to them. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Please help for this problem has got quite annoying, and I hope to resolve it quickly.
Also the error I get is:
Failed to connect to the server
Connection refused: connect
Please open the event viewer by going to Start -> Search "Event Viewer".
In the left branch menu, expand Windows Logs" then right click "System".
Press "Clear Log".
Then open Minecraft, try joining the server and then see if you can. Once you have done that, go back to "Event Viewer", right click "Application", press refresh, there should be another warning / error, (usually about DNS Client Events), right click it, press copy -> Copy as text,and paste it into a spoiler here.
