I recently started playing minecraft, and my partner plays as well. We got ourselves two accounts, and wanted to play on local network. No matter which one of us starts the game and opens it to lan, we are unable to play on network. The game works perfectly fine on singleplayer. The can otherwise share files and stream video.
We are both Linux users. I have Ubuntu 12.04 (updated, but not switched to 14.04), he's got Mint.
We are connected to the same router and have internet access.
We retreived the ip and port information and attempted to enter it directly: it isn't working either.
They error message I see on my screen while trying to joint his open game is: java.io.IOException: unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused.
Problem is found: i looked up how to do a minecraft server on the tutorials, and learned that OpenJDK Java can occasionnaly cause problems. I downloaded and installer Oracle Java 7 and have no trouble now.

Is anyone able to help with this?
Thank you
This would imply that either a firewall is blocking the connection or you are not connecting to the right ip addr / socket combination.
