I played some minecraft yesterday with some mods.
But when I try to connect to a server now, I "Can't reach the server".

And this litteraly for every server in my server list, people that I know are playing on that servers right now.
Just a note: There are about 40+ servers in my serverlist. So it's not serverside..

If someone can help me with this, that would be great!

And btw, I tried force updating minecraft.
Oh and logging in is not a problem, singleplayer also works fine, it's just connecting to servers.

And yes, I do know that this forum is not really for these problems, but I thought maybe someone else once had this..?

Do you happen to have a local firewall enabled? Router firewall?
Is port 25565 (TCP) blocked with outbound connections? Are you able to connect to a server with a non-standard port?
Does Java have permissions in Windows Firewall to use your network(s)? (This is a rather common problem...)

Nah, the hamachi bug usually gives you 'Can't Resolve Hostname'. My experience, might be different for you.

40 servers in your server list?
I suggest trying a second client, a fresh one, and then add the servers back one by one, testing to see if you connect well to them each time. For some reason, up until one day when I reinstalled optifine, I had no issues no matter how many servers I had in my server list, but then all of a sudden, if I had more than one server in my server list, it would sometimes be doing so many tasks at once (checking connection to all the different servers, etc.) that it just gives up on all of them and says "can't reach server". Removing all but one was the only way to fix it for me sadly...I dunno what other solutions there are, or what caused it for me. (Wasn't 1.3 and lan stuff - I had no issues for weeks after that was added to Minecraft. It just came out of nowhere...)

My server list is AU servers, Project Ares servers and mcinfected. Not that filling, but I'd suggest trying G33ke's suggestion.

Have hamachi? Delete it!
Yeah I already read that somewhere, so I uninstalled that, still the same..

Tried removing my servers.dat, and connecting to eu1.mcsg.in > still nothing..

Will try all of those things!

Hammer your router, always works! (Seriously, don't).
Ok, so nothing seems to work. Which is quite odd, can you connect to any other servers?
