Uplink fails - Unknown Host Exception :/

[Prote]

I've searched the forums, and tried all of the suggestions ; re-download the game, etc. I can't uplink and so can't play online now. :/

I am able to log onto registry.star-made.org fine. Tested my password by logging out and back in.

Please help. Thanks!

Found out what was wrong. Comodo internet security was blocking Java from accessing the internet (intermittently - which is odd!). I only figured this out when I tried to install and play Feed The Beast and got very similar errors trying do download modpacks and play online. I added javaw.exe to comodo app permit list, as well as the launchers but just wouldn't work.

I uninstalled Comodo and went with microsoft security essentials - reboot and now FTB and StarMade working perfectly.

Sorry for all my griping and complaining - hopefully I've made amends by posting my solution here.
