I am trying to connect to my friend's private sever, which I have played on multiple times before and had no issues with in the past. However, now I cannot get on. It takes a while to connect, and when the screen finally loads, I am only on for about 10 seconds maximum before getting disconnected and getting the same error screen: "Internal Exception java.io.IOException: Connection reset by peer"
Neither my friend who runs the sever nor I can figure out what the problem is. I'm able to connect to other severs with no problems. I have no mods, I just use the latest version of minecraft and java on my macbook pro. I've been googling this error message trying to find a solution, but all the discussions are varied and nothing makes sense. I've reinstalled both java and minecraft and nothing seems to make a difference.
