    All of this month I have been getting this error when I try to connect to the server.

    I've tried googling this error and all the answers I have found don't work for me. Other things I have tried:
    • Resetting router & modem.
    • Different minecraft versions.
    • Turning off my firewall/adding minecraft to it.

    Do you guys have any suggestions?

    Are you using the right IP and minecraft version? Are you using mods?

    Using the IP: server.sandlotminecraft.com
    No mods, just optifine for 1.10.2, I also tried vanilla 1.10.2/1.10 as well.

    I used to have a problem like this... Have you tried downloading another copy of MC on your comp?

    You could try to use 142.4.217.143 Only use it as a last resort.

    I've already tried it, forgot to mention. It didn't work either.

    What server did you log out from, and when is the last time you tried connecting? Before going into it much, it sounds like a firewall issue on your end. But I will check our logs when I hear back from you.

    I logged out in SVS, and I just tried connecting a minute ago - got the same error.

    If your MC name is currently 'TheOneCrafter' then I'm not seeing any connection attempt from you. This means the problem is somewhere between your computer and The Sandlot server, meaning there's nothing I can do on our end to help.

    Are you on a Mac or a PC? Do you know how to edit your firewall settings? Are you having trouble connecting to other MC servers too or just Sandlot?

    I sometimes have that. so I made a whole bunch of sandlot servers and at least one is working every time, sometimes all is accessible sometimes only one is.

    I'm on a PC. Yes. I am getting the same message with other servers...

    I would try removing all firewall rules pertaining to Java, then relaunch Minecraft and look for the Windows Firewall pop up and click "Allow."

    Ok, I did this and relaunched Minecraft, but nothing about windows firewall popped up. So I re-added Java/Minecraft to the firewall, but I'm still getting the same error... :confused:

    I'm not sure how satellite internet works exactly, but is there a firewall on your modem? You might need to check there too. If that still doesn't work, you might need to contact your ISP. Sorry I can't be of more help. :( Seems really odd that it would stop working all of a sudden after working fine for years. Did anything about your ISP change recently? Upgraded/changed plan, new hardware, different service, etc.?

    This is odd, I have never seen this type of error before.
