My LAN server wont work at my house.
When i try to join it says Connection timed out:connect.
When i put one up, my brother says it doesn even appear.
It used to work and then it just stopped.
When i go somewhere else (like a friends house) it works fine.
Please help.

That's exactly what's going on at my house as well. Really annoying.

Ok, what type of router do you have?

I used to have the same problem, and turns out all you need to do is unblock Java and Minecraft through your firewall.

Don't forget, you can use "Localhost" as the ip.

I think you are required to port forward if you use your external ip, even if it is or is not lan.

Hi I need some help with the Lan servers. When I setup a world from my laptop, my pc cant find it. But when I set one up from my pc my laptop can find it but when I click on it it always says connection timed out. I have two seperate premium accounts and this still doesnt work. Can anyone help me???

[LC190076]

thats exatcly whats happening to me accept it works at other peoples houses

[SimoshaSimon]

For the LAN problem, try hosting the LAN party from your brother's computer. I have had the same issue when I tried to play with my sister. If the world is important you can share the folder through Dropbox, Mediafire or Google Drive. Hope this helps.

[LC190076]

For sharing i have a flash drive, and that doesnt work either when i try to join it says "connection timed out:connect"

[autismaldino]

my laptop won't connect either its so weird it used to work maybe mine craft.net with having all its problems messed up lag and are trying to fix it?

[SimoshaSimon]

Try to wait for 1.3.2, that should clear your problem since the LAN and SMP is still slightly glitchy.

I really hope it's just a simple update glitch.
Cause if this LAN stuff won't work I don't know what will for me.
I'm one of those 'tried everything' people.

i fixed it by resetting my firewall

I'm Playing with my Brother over LAN, Now MineCraft Doesn't find the LAN server, i asume i would have to change some router settings.
But it does Work by choosing Multiplayer Add Server and fill in the *Local IP:Port (EG: 192.168.178.10:1600) Port number is random
*This is the IP:Port Minecraft shows after you open your world for LAN

But i Would Love to Fix the LAN settings if there is any info somewhere on what Firewall/Router Ports needs to be open and how.
