I downloaded the game through a torrent. Tried it out. LAN worked. Liked the game.
Like any non-, I decided to buy the game (twice) I have now tried & enjoyed.
Problem is, I can not get Offline LAN to work with myself and My wife.
(We each have a laptop [windows7] with our own purchased copy [for the record])
Now, please, I know I could go around and search for answers, but to be blunt, I have to cook dinner, I am tired from work, and I'm hoping someone could give me a hand here and just let me know if Offline LAN is possible and how?
(At the minute we are getting an error when we try to connect. We are using wi-fi and it works on every other game that allows it. So it's not broken)
Thanks!
---edit----
If I try join Her game it says "Java.net.Socket.Exception: Network is Unreachable"
If she tries to join MY game it says: "Connection lost: End of Stream"
Also, when she creates a game the IP is something like 2.0.0.0:5346 (or something)
If I create it, the IP is always 0.0.0.0:5646 (or something)
Well I suppose it could be possible. Sort of. But not really. If you plugged both of them into the router using ethernet cables. Because then you would have a wired connection and wouldn't be using the wifi. So that might work. Unless you are telling the game to go into offline mode when you first login. Then it may not work even with a wired connection. So I would try that. Plug the lap tops up and see if it works I guess. Other than that Considering that LAN is an online multiplayer function I don't believe it is possible.

Humanity is the creation of Logic and Emotion, Calculation and Imagination, Cold Analysis and Blind Faith. This is why I believe it is a strange Human that would prize one while shunning the other. For a calculator can do math just as well as you, but a calculator can not use math to make the world a better place.

Sorry, not having a go at you, but that seems bloody retarded.
Firstly, wi-fi LAN or Hard cable LAN should have absolutely no bearing on the impact of my home network.
Borderlands 2, Diablo 2,3 ...MANY more games work perfectly fine utilizing this.
Secondly, why the hell wouldn't it be a function that works in the LEGIT copy of the game?
I can be a and steal the game and enjoy it offline LAN.
I do the right thing and buy the game now I cant?

Well first. if both of the laptops are plugged in to the router then you would be 'Offline' but you would still be part of a LAN. Just an Old School LAN party style one.
Now if you are playing the game in Offline mode, as in you are not signed in to you Minecraft.net or Mojang account then in the Legit version of the game you Can not play online. thats why its called Online mode.
However.
When you downloaded the pirated version it may have been a cracked client. And those will sometimes fiddle with backend parts of the client so that the pirates can have the full functionality of having a paid for client like being able to play multiplayer in offline mode.
This is setup like this because of the fact that when you 'buy' minecraft your are in fact buying a Mojang account, not the download of the game itself. Not letting you play Online is Mojangs way of making sure they get there money because they can't really keep people from getting there hands on a file that the internet.
Also. games that come from most Publishers have DRM on them. Even the digital ones. and so you don't need to log in to an account to prive that you paid for the product you are using. You are making a mistake in thinking that LAN is the same thing as CO-OP in borderlands. SImply by having the disc (for consoles) or having to put in a CD key (for PC) is proof that you bought the game. Thats not how Minecraft works.

its a lan game both connected to your router atleast. you have to be connected to your network obviously. then start a lan game and use direct connect and connect using your local IP adresses IPV4. that should work. you may get an error tho saying youve logged on from a different location since the default name for someone in offline is PLAYER so you both may be named player as well. there is something called a magic launcher when you put a name into the magic launcher and choose offline mode it will aslo change your name
