If any of you are getting this error when trying to log onto a server, any server, this will fix it.

I had this error today and this solution worked perfectly!

Oh wow I guess they fucked up DNS then.
Just be ready to undo that change later, if Mojang changes their session server again, it will stop working for you. So just consider it a temporary fix to get you on for now, but be ready to undo it later.

I know. It's an easy edit to undo, so no bother.

I just think its worth warning people to remember to undo it later, which you did not do. If people do that and forget about it, it will cause problems later.
