I have been using minecraft realms for about 3 weeks now, with no issue, until today.

Starting today, and many, many times throughout the day, minecraft launcher will NOT connect to internet. "no connection"

Numerous times, I have:

• restarted minecraft.
• restarted computer
• restarted router & computer
• turned off firewall

none of these attempts allow the minecraft launcher to connect to internet. 

I saw that you have had this bug reported in the past,

please help!!
