    I have asked many people, but none have been able to figure this out.
    I cant connect to any servers, this includes ECC.
    Everytime i try to log into a server, i get a different outcome.
    This is NOT just ecc. I can not log into any servers without timing out. I really need to fix this problem, because right now, the longest i can stay on a server without timing out is around 20 to 30 minutes.

    Outcome 1:
    1. "connecting to server"
    2. "logging in"
    3. top of window then says "minecraft is not responding"
    4. minecraft crashes.

    Outcome 2:
    1. "connecting to server"
    2. "logging in"
    3. successfully joined
    4. i time out within 5 minutes.

    Outcome 3:
    1. "connecting to server"
    2. "logging in"
    3. i joined the server, but only my inventory and a few chunks have loaded in
    4. i time out within 10 seconds of joining

    Outcome 4:
    1. "connecting to server"
    2. "logging in"
    3. everything loads, all seems perfect
    4. times out.

    There are plenty more outcomes than this, but these are just some basic ones.
    Heres some things i have done to try and fix it myself:
    -restarted internet (keep in mind that my internet is working perfectly, so i dont believe the internet is the problem)
    -turned off norton firewall (didnt work.)
    -deleted and redownloaded minecraft
    -restarted my computer
    -ran a cleaner on my computer
    -did a full system scan for viruses (nones were found, a fun way to waste 2 hours :) )

    This has nothing to do with my minecraft versions or my internet. My internet works very smoothly and changing my minecraft versions doesnt do anything. I believe the problem is coming from something that is blocking minecraft. My computer is 100% virus free.

    If you think you know anything at all about fixing this PLEASE tell me!
    ps. This has been going on for more than a week.

    Its not my version. Even with 1.8 i cant join servers. My minecraft isnt the problem, it is obviously something that is blocking my connection. I have full bars when joining servers, but i still time out.

    Can you ping and do a traceroute to the server?

    Also, in all your screenshots, it is your version.
    Please use simply 1.8. We do not support 1.8.1 or 1.7

    those screenshots were not connecting to ecc. I am 100% sure that it is not my version. This timing out is not only on ecocitycraft, it is on other servers. I have tried using just 1.8, but i just time out, same goes for ECC.

    Try using 1.8 if you aren't already. Other than that I'll tag @clou44 and @jakeyray18

    You stated that your client crashed a few times, can you provide the crash reports?

    Unfortunately, I cant. I have deleted minecraft a few times and that deleted the reports. I do believe that using 1.8 fixed this problem because I have not timed out of any server yet. I think 1.8.1 is what is making me crash.

    If you do crash providing the crash report will also help us isolate exact what went on when you crashed.

    Still cant join. I join the server and it shows chat and everything, but it doesnt load any chunks at all so im just falling... I can try and video it and send a link, but i dont know if that will help. I have tried turning off my computers firewall, but i dont see a difference.

    This is no longer an issue, as 1.8 has been fully updated
