Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

Why would you open a subscription for an internet game if you don't have personal internet access?

Minecraft isn't CCP and neither is youtube. Each company that offers wifi is different in allowing what kind of traffic they let through. I've been to places where you could DL porn and I've been to places where all you can view is their webpage and nothing else.

If your love is that strong you might have to go the extra mile and pay for an open port.

Excuse me a second.

CCP GUYS, SEE WHAT I'M TRYING TO HELPFULLY SUGGEST TO THE OP IS THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO GET INTERNET ACCESS THAT ISN'T BLOCKED ON SPECIFIC PORTS. ALL GOOD? CHEERS.

Sorry about that, been having some trouble with the hired help.

Enjoy you summer. I wouldn't be spending it playing games, I'd be looking for some hard body action.
