Whenever I connect to a minecraft server I get this: You failed to connect to the server. It's probably down! It happens on World of Minecraft and minecraft.net. I have java and all of my firewalls are turned off, even my antivirus. I have a really good internet connection. Can someone please help me?
i cant either i just get a white screen. :(
ok think i fixed it for myself atleast. Try resetting your router. It may have made some weird ip address that conflicted with the client or something...
Still doesn't work. I even tried re-installing windows xp but it still doesn't work. PLEASE HELP ME. :(
I try to type something in the search bar but it will freeze and wont do anything. PLEASE HELP!!! I've tried to redownload it but it still won't work.
I can't connect to any mc classic servers either!
Well, I guess that's not entirely true..
I tried joining my own MCForge server, and it says I connected successfully, but I still just get the "You failed to connect to the server. It's probably down!" screen.

Thanks ryanknack, that post was very helpful.
To elabourate on the topic: http://www.worldofminecraft.com/content/java-7-and-World of Minecraft-clientclassic-minecraft
Java runtime or JDK version 6 update 35 will also work. I installed the jdk for this version. Oracle's site required an account to download update 32 so I didn't even bother with that.
The JDK 6u35 can be found here:

The JRE 6u35 can be found here:

Anyways, I hope this helps anyone who is having trouble with finding a version that will work with the classic minecraft client.
