Can you actually resolve and access that URL (http://session.minecraft.net/game/getversion.jsp?)?
I just tested from a bunch of Linux servers around the place (dfferent ISP's) and some can resolve and some can't so maybe there is a DNS issue at the moment? www.minecraft.net appears to resolve just fine though.
The DNS issue wasn't occurring for me when I tested it (not sure if it had been occurring previously with the game access). Anyway it turned out to be that I had an ancient version of the minecraft.jar, the old version was ~50K and when I downloaded the new version at ~90K it started working. Strangely I had a similar Minecraft problem on another system which definitely had the latest minecraft.jar file. So I'll have to solve that next. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
