Well, I had turned off minecraft to switch to another skin, and after loading it back up, it said "cannot connect to minecraft.net" But I must be connected to the internet to post this, if I can't get on, I will miss the Canterlot opening. Can anyone explain how to fix this?

It's doing this for everyone. Just keep trying, I eventually got in.

I predict 3 more threads will be made about this before it's over, in this very same forum.

Also there's this:

Many times people will say "minecraft.net is having problems" to explain why you can't join servers, but I'd like to share the 2 specific sites that have to be working for people to be able to play, neither of which can be tested by loading up the minecraft.net homepage.

There are 2 major parts to this.

First, when you start up your game, then log in, your client will try to hit this site:

http://login.minecraft.net/
(I'm sure it really hits a page in that domain somewhere, I don't know where)

If you hit that page now and it says "bad login", that means it's working. When it is broken it will just never load, or give some other error.

Source: Tobias's twitter page. he is the server guy at Mojang



After you log into minecraft and your game starts, and you try to login to a server, the server will try to load up a URL to verify you. If that fails, you will see the "took too long to login" error or bad login.

That works by loading this URL:

http://session.minec...checkserver.jsp

It will say "NOT YET" if its working, anything else is bad news.

Just some more detail on that, my server will fetch a URL that looks like this when I login:

http://session.minec... ... 5de779c3da

But just hitting that checkserver.jsp should be enough to see if its working, if it never loads, then you can know for sure it is broken and you'll just have to wait.
When I see that happen, I'll usually take the risk and put the server in offline mode, the problem is that without minecraft.net, I have no way to be sure a given user is really them, there are programs to fake your name, otherwise I'd just leave it like that forever.

Source: My own packet sniffing to see how it works.
