Hello Mates.

For the past week i could not connect to minecraft.net.
Even tried using Technic Launcher etc.

I finally found the problem that is was my Computers user name.

My username had a ! in it and i found the problem out because MultiMC said i had it in my name and minecraft will break with it in it.

So for people out there who have tried everything and still cannot connect i recommend you check your user name for any ! or ? or anything like that.

if you do try this:

I hope this helps people in the future because it really started to get on my nerves

Glad it helped someone
