Server Joining Issues

[Debu]

Ok, I've seen people complain about not being able join the server during the time 11:00AM to 4:00PM (GMT+5.5). It also happend that one day my brother told me that he couldnt log in the whole day. It is not that the server is offline, i tried manually pinging the server with CMD and it got a response; that means the server is online, but due to some bug we aren't able to log in. Here is the Log from my client, it show that

Please look into this issue, its now becoming common.

I had a similar problem were I couldn't connect for 14 hours out of the day. A VPN sorted out, so clearly something wrong with the service provider.

Thanks for the clear report. Is anyone else having problems like these? If so please post a log so I have something to confront the host with.

I think this is from the right time frame, i also had issues connecting. Hope it helps.

For those who had issues and dont know hot to retrive there logs you goto .minecraft\logs and open the zip files with the correct date on it, then copy and paste the correct section. i think every session creates a  new unique log so check a couple of them to make sure its all / the right log report.
