So lately I'm been having an issue with mc.Whenever I join a server I can't see anyone's skin not even my own skin I also keep getting disconnected every 2 mins can someone help me fix this issue? I unplugged my router and replug but that doesn't work. PLZ HELP
This could be caused by having an ip address conflict on your network, or perhaps more likely, you have software like a firewall or antivirus that is blocking and terminating connections made by java.
Most home networks use DHCP, unless you know what you are doing none of your devices should have static ip addresses.
If you have configured any devices with static IP addresses, e.g. to host a game with port forwarding, then you should undo that and let them be dynamic addressed again.
... if there is an IP address conflict, it means that two networked devices both think that they 'own' some IP addresses (like 192.168.0.2). On your home network the router / wifi usually assigns the addresses. It keeps track of who is currently supposed to be using each address.
Usually conflicts happen when someone decides that they want their device to always have the same address, so they configure it to have a specific address. This only appears to work. Eventually the router / wifi will assign the address to another device and you have a conflict from then on.
There are some other ways this can happen, for example there were some phones that kept addresses when they went to sleep and then caused conflicts later on.
But usually the problem starts when someone tries to set up port forwarding and doesn't really understand how the network works.

Screenshot please. The firewall has nothing to do with this. Firewalls are for not allowing people to connect to YOU, not you connect to them. If you attach a screenshot of the error, I may be able to help you. Also, the skin glitch is a legit bug. It happens.

This is what it says when I get disconnected
Internal Exception: Java.io.lOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
And When I try to launch Firefox or internet explorer the page won't load
Also when I launch mc it says play offline then 30 seconds later it says play and I'm connected to wifi
