I bought minecraft yesterday and every time I go to play online, it says it "can't reach server" or "failed to reach server" or something of that nature. I know it's not my internet connection because both my WiFi and Ethernet are running awesome, and I took the firewall off of the game. I've tried making my own server and it won't connect to that either. I'm getting kind of frustrated because it's an expensive game to not have work properly. does anybody have any ideas on how to fix it?

the game does work fine. I've been playing since early 2010 with no problems, you need to make sure that the server is ONLINE as well, as they are hosted by a physical server.

Checkout these big servers (Which are always online): hivemc.eu mc.hypixel.net (To add them go to your multiplayer server list and click 'add server' and type one of those domains in)

If those appears are offline to you, then it is 100% a problem with either your connection or firewall, hope I solved your problem! :)
