hey I need help. my lan world connection isn't working right and I don't know what to do. the 2 computers are hooked up with the same internet but they wont connect to the server that I opened to lan. what do I do?
Could you give a detailed explanation of how exactly you tried to open it up to LAN, you tried to connect to it, and what doesn't work?
We are in the same house. We have 2 computers; 1 laptop and one base unit. Both are connected through the same router. We each own our own Minecraft account (registered and legal! LOL). Both same update, no texture pack or mods. We are trying to direct connect as I have seen on youtube "how-to" videos. He starts his world, esc, select LAN. His world shows up on my select screen. when I click on it, it tells me Failed to connect connection timed out. Tried multiple times, resetting, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
