Hey guys. I'm having a Minecraft LAN problem, and I was wondering whether anyone could help. I have attempted to google it, and I've also talked to a few people who are average on computers. I have had absolutely no luck. I also went in to a help IRC just before, but they could not help me either. I've attached what the problem is below.
Hello. This is my first time on one of these help things. I am having a problem with hosting a LAN world on MC 1.7.5The person attempting to connect to my server is getting the following message java.net.socketexception:host.is.downWhen I attempt to connect to this person via LAN, I cannot find their world. I have disabled firewalls for both MC and Java Binary SE.
I should also note that I have used cmd to attempt an ipconfig/release, as instructed by one of Microsoft's help sites, as well restored system to factory settings (Yes, it's that bad), as suggested by an I.T. guy down at **** Smith. Still absolutely no luck. I am using Windows 8, and the computer I am trying to connect with is a MAC. Both Minecrafts are completely up to date.
My router at this present moment is a Mac Time Capsule, and I'm not good enough with computers to check it out and see if that is the problem, but I predict that it is. In the case that it was, I attempted to use an Ethernet cable to connect the two of us together, but no such luck there either.
I am genuinely lost at this one, and I would appreciate ANY help OR suggestions anyone may have. Whether it is a definite fix, or a guess.
Thanks for reading guys
