Recently(for about a few months), I've been having an issue of which I cannot connect to a LAN server at my home on another computer. It's also the same situation vice versa. When I launch a LAN world on the other computer(we'll call it Computer 2), the LAN server appears on Computer 1's server list. When I try to connect, it takes a while, but then provides me with a message which can be seen in the last picture below.
When I turn on a LAN server on Computer 1, Computer 2 doesn't even see it in the server's list.
I would very much appreciate if anyone could solve this problem, as it has been bothering me for a while now and I have no idea how to fix it whatsoever.
Thanks in advance.
I am having the EXACT same problem of the original poster with both of our computers attempting to run a LAN game. This happens regardless of the version of minecraft and regardless of the Launcher (Vanilla, FTB, ATLauncher). Here are the things we have done that have not had any effect (we both have laptops running Windows 8.1):
-Disabled all firewalls on both computers.
-Disabled router firewall/forwarded all possible ports.
-Deleted and reinstalled Java on both computers (verified we are both running 64 bit Java since we are running 64 bit Windows).
-Reduced Security within Java to the minimal level.
-Ran Minecraft as an administrator, and attempted many compatibility modes.
I'm at a loss on this one... We've had this problem for 6 months now, and our temporary solution is paying for an outside server, which should be a completely unnecessary expenditure of $30 a month!!! This is incredibly aggravating as I cannot find a working solution.
