Just now finally got ahold of one of my servers admins and he made a suggestion that just blew my mind, and made me feel retarded all at the same time. So, apparently, in the top left of the Technic Launcher, is a large title window that is actually a dropdown menu. I thought it was just a jpg title picture or something. Anyway, if you click on that dropdown menu, scroll down, and select Tekkit. Then try to log into your server, it should download a short update and then should work fine. It worked for me.

I am having the same issue. Fully installed a new clean Minecraft 1.1 and Technic launcher 2.0 in the last 2 hours, a couple of times. The game sees the tekkit server, but when I try to connect to it, it says logging in, then pauses on an empty brown screen for a few seconds, then says "Disconnected by Server. This server requires you to have Minecraft Forge installed." Java version 1.7.0_01
