Unmodified MC running on 2 Windows8 PC's on same internal private LAN. Firewalls turned off completely both machines. Worked great until new launcher. Both PC's running same MC version, latest Java. Can connect to LAN game easily enough, but will time out after just a minute. Player sees himself in one place but other player sees him somewhere else.Game works fine standalone, other LAN games run great. Any ideas?
Welcome to the Forum.
Make sure that both PCs see the network they're connected to as a Home network.
Thank you. They do see each other on the same network. They are actually on the same LAN switch, same subnet mask, etc, and set to home network, not Public/Work..... it seems better after I disabled both machines' firewalls and rebooted them again. I guess I'll have to rely on my router's firewall to protect my home PC's. Now on to fix a laptop with an openGL error when launching MC. I wish I had never purchased this game. I spend entirely too much time troubleshooting it.
