!!!HELP PLEASE!!!
I just recently bought a new Gaming PC. It works really well and has no problems whatsoever. But while playing Minecraft, I noticed that I couldn't connect to any multiplayer servers other than my own. So I went on my laptop to see if it had the same problem but all the servers in the list were up. I just can't connect to any Minecraft Multiplayer servers on my pc. Does anyone know why?!

Your antivirus or firewall could be prohibiting minecraft to use your networking. Go check them out and see if you can change the restrictions.

I've looked into that but it still doesn't work.

does it just show no servers, or it says the servers can not be reached?
does it give an error when you try to connect to one?

should be obvious but you do realise the server list is held on the machine and not on your account so when you use a different machine you have to manually add any servers to your list (i guess you know this but i'm asking just incase to cover all bases)

It shows "Can't reach server" on my pc. But on my laptop, they're all up and running. When I try to connect, it says: "Connection timed out: connect.

are both the computer and laptop connecting to the internet on the same router?
you said you looked at the firewall etc settings, did you try temporally disabling the firewall to check its not blocking minecraft or java?

Yes, both my laptop and my pc are connected to the same router. And Yeah, I tried disabling my firewall but it stayed the same.
