[Fxntxsy]

I just recently wanted to play pixelmon and I downloaded technic launcher and i tried to log in and it said An error occured etc. and i read through a couple other forums on it and I deleted all javas, redownloaded technic, and i saw one about looking at your host files and i did and it says this. Any help

While Pixelmon support is not offered on these forums, its possible that mojangs servers were simply down at that time, have you tried again?

Before messing with any host files or firewalls etc just try to ping "authserver.mojang.com" via command prompt or even just paste in that in the url to see if you can access it at all

Delete the hosts file. Your hosts file doesn't allow you to connect to Mojang's auth server.

Where can we find the host files we need to delete
