Have you guys gotten this far? --SPOILERS-- ;D

Re: Problems starting 6.1.0 and joining server. You silly billy. Glad I could help! Just be glad you got me and not some of the other regulars who would have loved to be here to make fun of you. :D

Re: Problems starting 6.1.0 and joining server. How hard did you search? Might help if you were in the right place. (You're in the Tekkit SMP Bug Board, not Technic SSP.) If you had searched there then you'd see that the latest build appears to be FUBAR. With Technic selected in your launcher hit Options > Manual Build Selection > 6.0.7|1.1|Rec. Build You're launching Technic SSP in your client and not Tekkit SMP. (Current Version of Tekkit SMP is 2.1.0) So that problem is easy enough, launch TEKKIT, not TECHNIC. Also with Tekkit selected in your launcher hit Options > Manual Build Selection > 2.1.0|1.1|Latest. Should fix both of your problems. Here's a handy little guide.

Off-topic, but you should use Waterfox! But, again, if you didn't want to uninstall the 32-bit, you don't have to.

If you absolutely don't want to remove 32-bit and switch to 64-bit (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!), you can always install both. I actually can't think of a single reason you'd keep a 32-bit Java7 install on a 64-bit system but that's just me. Either way if you're going to be playing Minecraft, especially with mods, you should really upgrade to 64-bit. Once you've done that and/or tried pieiscool32's solution above then if your TechnicLauncher still doesn't work come back.

In the Technic Launcher's Options menu, select "Always use development builds". Should work after that.
