I've allowed java access on all our networks but the two laptops still cant seem to find each other. All other games we play on LAN work exept for minecraft. It won't direct connect nor do we appear in the multiplayer list when the game gets opened to LAN.
The old laptop with minecraft used to connect to this one but we got a new laptop and it won't. I've searched all over online and still can't find a solution.
Other games work so we are connected. It's an ethernet crossover cable. All other LAN games work, and I've tried opening minecraft up through the firewall but they still won't connect. No error message just won't find each other.
You dont need internet to play lan games. And I've turned off windows firewall on both laptops and minecraft still won't find the game
When you are hooked together, make sure both computers show up on homegroup or in networking, so that it is proof you have connection.
From that, run an ipconfig and find your local IPs, and try direct connecting using those. It may help to disable wifi. You shouldnt have an issue past that.

Also, what's the error you get when you try to direct connect to the laptop?

Search up how to change firewall settings to make a lan connection open.
Restart both PC's
Reboot modem
Change the slots that the PC's are plugged into on the modem
