I cant sign in

[Nim85]

     So I got Minecraft a few years ago and decided to try out Technic. And when I download the launcher and try to sign in (With my MINECRAFT account)it says: an error occurred while trying to reach authserver.mojang.com. I don't know if the severs are down or if i'm just being stupid and missing something obvious, but please help!

There are many different causes/solutions for this that I have seen. One may work for you or none of them.

- Have you tried disabling your antivirus?

- Is javaw and or technic launcher allowed through your firewall?

- Have you tried resetting your router?

Windows Only:
- Run 

netsh winsock reset

 in an elevated command prompt then restarted your computer?

You reinstalled Java and that fixed your issue?
