I began playing on a server my friend created last night. It worked perfectly fine for an hour or so before I was randomly kicked off and received the error message: (internal exception java.io.ioexception: an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host). Since then, I have either been unable to connect to the server at all, or when I do, either only the terrain immediately around me loads and I can move about for about a minute before being kicked and receiving that error message, or no terrain loads at all and my character is simply falling for about a minute before receiving the error message. I have tried re-installing my minecraft client, which is using no mods, I have the most recent java, and minecraft is allowed through my firewall. I was thinking it would be possible my friend's server has a whitelist that I am not on, or something like that. If anyone has any input or advice I would greatly appreciate it!
