Problem java.net.socketexception connection reset

[ele360]

Hello, I am currently having some problems connecting to a Feed The Beast Server running the Direwolf20 pack. Every time I try to connect to the server it instantly tells me " java.net.socketexception connection reset" and only gives me the option to return to the title screen. The single player mode works fine, however I have tried more than one ftb server and still I get this error.

I have tried updating my java, fresh install of the game, disabling all forms of firewalls/antivirus, run as administrator, allocated up to 6gigs of ram, set the priority to high, as well as a few other small fixes and yet nothing has produced any results at all.

Console: http://pastebin.com/Y4qkQ9GF#

If anyone could suggest something that I have not already tried, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, I am running windows 8, is there any known issues with that?

All servers give indeed this error back, lets start with java 7 and see from there, it could be some router related issue (UPNP)

Per say I was getting a very much similar problem, but all my java and mods are up to date. What is this router related issue you speak of?
