Problem:

Minecraft modded with forge can not connect to the internet, no matter when!

When downloading the forge apis it says it can't download them, an crashes!

I downloaded them manually and it started all properly.

When you try to connect to a server it doesn't crash, or give you an exception, it simple prints

the error on the screen (Source 1).

Also it gives at the first enter of the main screen a exeprion (Source 2)

 

How Tested and researched:

Before I updated all worked perfectly fine. I updated, while keeping my programs, and Minecraft worked like normal, no problems.

But when I installed forge it gave me the errors defined at the top!

Since I know Java and programming well, I decompiled MC, tested it with Eclipse, and it didn't gave any errors at all!

But when I installed Forge it again gave me this errors.

Then I took an old Win7 net book copied the .minecraft (EXACTLY the same), and there it worked perfecly.

The only difference is that on my PC I've installed java32 and java 64 on the net book only 32, but it is the same version (7.9).

Note:

Some of you might say: This is why Notch sayed, that you shouln't update!

I say: I reduced my starting time form 1 min to 11 sek, it is runing saver, and all is working perfectly, even MC.

Only Forge has problems with this, but I thing that this can be fixed!

Its not really our issue if the OS decides to not allow you to connect to a remote site.

Hell, it isn't even our code thats doing the connecting it's mojang's.

Not having a windows 8 machine to test {Honestly guys, I highly advise never updating windows 8 and waiting till they work the issues out}

All i can say is either the JVM for windows 8 is messed up, or it doesn't like that you have unsigned classes. Either way I can't really help you.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.
