It worked! Thank you sir! You've saved me from two days of anguish and frustration.

After having installed forge on my computer I cannot find the server that I play on. It just keeps infinitely searching for the server. I followed the exact same process my roommate did to install Forge. He can get into the server but I cannot. Forge works perfectly fine on client. The only difference is that I am running it on Windows 8 and my roommate on Windows 7. The version of Forge that I am using is 1.7.2. I can find the server when I use Forge 1.6.4, however the server is running 1.7.2 so I can't log into it. Other solutions I've tried is checking my firewall and antivirus. I've been reading that Windows 8 might be the problem here but I haven't found a concrete explanation. Any help would be much appreciated. Info: I am on a Gateway running Windows 8 I'm running Java-64 bit
