Recently, I've been trying to play on an LAN world with my brother. I haven't been able to because it says "Connection timed out: no further information". I'm hosting the LAN world on my Macbook Pro, and whenever I host it from there, none of my other computers can connect to it. When I host it on another computer, however, every other computer but my Macbook can join. My firewall on my Mac is off, direct connect didn't work, I've tried fiddling with the router firewall and the firewalls on the other computers, and nothing happened, port-forwarding didn't work, and I've literally tried everything. I'm at a loss. All my computers have the same forge version with the same mods. It worked with hamachi, but I was wondering if there was a way I could fix this without using a third-party program? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: All my other computers are Windows 7 or Windows 8!
EDIT #2: I've also tried changing my antivirus' firewall and it still didn't fix the problem.
EDIT #3: All computers are running 1.8!
EDIT #4: If I launch a server with the minecraft_server.jar thing, the computers can connect to it, but I don't want to use that because 1) it's slow and 2) the mods I'm using won't work on it. I'm very confused.
