Getting 'Minecraft you're already connected on this proxy' error - how to fix it?

hey! this error usually happens when the server thinks you're still connected, even if you're not.

try clearing your DNS cache. open command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns". then restart Minecraft.

if that doesn't work, maybe try joining a different server first, then go back to your friend's server. sometimes that resets the connection.
