Heloo i played yesterday and today but i got DC i now i can t connect to the server what's wrong?

I didn't want to make another thread as I already see enough of these things about having issues connecting, but even when the server is up I haven't been able to connect. I was able to connect when I last tried a few weeks (months?) ago, on the same computer. I deleted the entire Java cache and I've turned off the Windows Firewall. Not really sure what else to try.

default client or custom client?

[profce]

I've tried both. It was originally occurring using only the original client, though.

I hate double-posting, but I honestly can't think of any fix for this problem. I updated Java, wondering if that was causing any issues... is there a port I should try opening on the router? I'm mostly confused because it's worked on this system before, and I don't believe I've installed anything that would affect any internet connections.

Edit: Opened 1871/tcp and 1870/udp on the router as I saw on another thread, and that's still not doing anything.

To clarify, it authenticates then simply sits at "Connecting.." for a few seconds before telling me it couldn't connect.

Edit 2: I guess that finally worked. Neeeeevermind. (This thread is now just me talking to myself. I will continue if necessary.)
