Offline Mode active when Launcher is Opened

[Rouge_Gamer]

Launcher Version: 383

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium

Java Version: Java 7 Update 51

Antivirus Program: Norton

Description of Problem:

Every time I launch the "Technic Launcher" I can log in but the rest of the launcher is in "Offline" mode. I have deleted old Java versions and reinstalled the latest but still can't download the modpacks because of offline mode.

Norton is a terrible AV that doesn't recognise what Technic is and will do anything to screw with it.

Uninstall Norton. Get a better AV like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast!

Try the modpack again. If it doesn't work then please answer this:

What bits is your OS and Java, 32 or 64?

[Rouge_Gamer]

64 Bit

Please stop double and quadruple posting, use the edit button if you wish to add more information. As for FTB I can't help there, you need to ask FTB forum support thread.

Do me a favour and delete the .technic folder in %appdata% -> Roaming -> .technic

Remember to backup any saves in each modpack you've played!

Before you open the launcher, right-click and choose Run as admin. If the packs are still offline after this (try it a couple of times to be sure) then try downloading a modpack from the Platform. After you tried that and download failed, post the error log in here. I'd like to see if anything has changed...

[Rouge_Gamer]

Now, none of the modpacks/modpack images are loading they are replaces by the "Add New Modpack" image. http://pastebin.com/ds9t7Y4b

Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol family: connect

Well hello hello familiar error, so we meet again...

Get your command window up and copy the following line and paste it there

setx _JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I really wished all errors was this easy... I really do, but some are disguised with other errors and some are really obscure to identify. Happy Tekkiteering!
