My two boys can't get local multiplayer to connect. We have tried several times from each computer. We are following the directions on the minecraft website. Everytime the second computer just says searching for local servers. we have also tried direct connect with the ip address.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it workimg?
Thanks for your reply. We never modified the server.properties file, but they do have a few mods installed so I am not sure the file got modified from those? I looked for the server.properties file and don't see it. we use macs, do you know where I can find the file to look at it?

Open it up again and make sure the IP field is left empty and the port is 25565.
Run the server, then connect to the server by typing in "localhost" instead of an IP.
