I have the server on my computer, but when I try to log on, it just has a red x over the signal and it says 'pinging.' can someone help me out? Is Hellblock just down?

 

Ok, so now it's just saying can't reach server... But is it down?

 

Have you clicked refresh?

 

If you can't connect straight to Hellblock, go via skyblock.org, there is a portal that leads to Hellblock

 

On which version of minecraft are you

 

Are you using the snapshot? This may be causing the problem.

 

Thank you for advice, and I discovered the problem. My internet connection sometimes blinks out on its own, selectively, and I just disconnected from my wifi, and reconnected (troubleshooted just to make sure,) and it came back online. I tried to see about going through skyblock.org, but it wouldn't let me, and I was on minecraft 1.7.2 (no snapshots) and I finally just decided to try the internet thing, and it worked. Thank you everyone who offered advice.

 

Seeing as this has been solved, archiving.
