First, what version of Java do you have? This issue is known to occur on some older versions.

Additionally, post the contents of %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac, Linux).

I'm using java 8 update 45

 

IS this what you asked me to post???:

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

Update your java to a recent version.
