Ok, so two days ago, my cousin and I came together for a minecraft session. Everything worked perfectly, there was even hardly any lag. But today we got together again, and neither of us can connect to each other's worlds. When trying to set up the LAN game, I can't see any of his LAN servers, but he can see mine. However, neither of us can connect to the other.
To clarify: Both of us are using fresh jars, no mods, and both of us are connected to the same router that we were before. We've tried com restarts and downloading fresh jars. Nothing. Can anybody help us?
Ok, first thing of all i am willing to help you because no one is.
Alright heres the Soulution.

Minecraft's LAN is terrible. Here is how to fix it:
Go to the start menu on the host's computer
type in "cmd"
upon opening the application, type in the following: ipconfig
find your LAN iPv4 adress
start Minecraft and open your world to lan
look for the message that appears on your screen and find the digit(s) after the colon (ex: local game hosted on 0.0.0.0(whatever the numbers are)
on the other computer type in through DIRECT CONNECT (important!) the hosts iPv4 address, then add a colon after the address and put in the number you got from the "local game hosted on... etc" message
Enjoy!
Okay, so you have your two computers set up next to each other. The computer that is going to host the Minecraft LAN server must go to his desktop and click the start menu in the bottom right corner. In the search bar of the start menu, he will type in "cmd". An application will show on the start menu, he opens it and types: ipconfig. From there, he must find his LAN iPv4 address. The other player, the player who will join the server will go onto Minecraft and under Multiplayer, go on Direct Connect. He will type in the iPv4 address. Then, the host will open his server to LAN. A message should appear on the host's computer, saying something like "Local game hosted on 0.0.0.0.xxxxx" The x's represent a number. Now, the player who is trying to join will add a colon after the iPv4 address and put the number that game from the Local game hosted message. Enjoy.
