Hello, my brother and I both have different minecraft accounts. However, when I try to open a world to LAN, and he tries to connect from a different computer, he gets Connection refused: connect. I am running Fedora 17 Linux, 3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64, and my JRE version is
java version "1.7.0_05-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.2.1.fc17.9-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)
He's running Windows 7.
Is there anything I can do to fix this error? Thanks.
Note: I've also seen this error when both people were running java 6.

First use netstat -loa after opening the LAN game, and see if the port assigned by the game is actually binding to the private IP4 LAN address..... it "should", but sometimes it'll attach to the loopback or the IP6 address for unknown reasons.
If that looks ok... You can also try using "direct connect" with the IP address and port to see if it'll at least go through with that. Other possibilities include the Windows box's firewall overreacting to a java process trying to scan the local network.
A quick test is to run 2 clients on the linux box (using separate logins of course), host a LAN game, then use LAN scan and direct connect IP to see what it does. If you want to get really creative, forward the TCP on the router to your box and use direct connect to WAN address of the LAN host.

I grepped the netstat output and it was indeed binding to ipv6:

You must allow java on the firewall. ( I did it and it worked)
Could you tell me how you did that? I tried google and poking around system-config-firewall and couldn't find out how.
