Problem with launching technic launcher (with logs...)

[N00bKefka]

My launcher stuck at the splash screen. I don't see the solution for this in the common problem thread so I make a new topic. I hope someone can explain what the log is talking about.

The error log:

I think you need java 6, but I'm not sure on that.

Some progress but not good enough...

I tried again after restarting several times and the log always stuck at this line using java 6.

This might be a bit excessive, but backup your saves and delete everything in .techniclauncher, then download the Launcher again. One of the modpack YMLs probably got screwed up.

[N00bKefka]

Still fail but at least I realize what the problem could be.

For some weird reason, my java is unable to access "http://mirror.technicpack.net/Technic/modpacks.yml" to download the "modpacks.yml". I can access the website myself to get the "modpacks.yml" myself but the launcher refuse to read it.

[N00bKefka]

So I tried to run the technic launcher jar file on my desktop and it works perfectly. It seems that there are issues between my wireless connection and the server. So I plug the cable to my laptop and run technic launcher from there and it works.
