I just started playing minecraft and love it. I want to set up my main computer as the server while playing and have my laptop run the game and have that computer play on the same server. I went through the process of setting up a server on the main computer and I can run it fine and log in on the main computer perfectly. When I get on the laptop to do the same I can't log in at all.
I've tried typing in the address box "localhost", my ip address and any other number I can think would work to get the laptop to connect. Can anyone help me out? I really want this to work.
Well two things. I am running two MACs and two I am using one account. I was trying to do this with one account, my account.
I just read that you can't use one account to connect to a server twice. So my girlfriend and I cant play on one account on a server?
*techincally* you can, one of you signs in as the person the other signs in offline, and then they connect, one person will be named "Player" the other the actual character name
HOWEVER i say, just go buy another account, because thorugh this method the online mode needs to be set false, leaving you much more vulnerable
