Whenever I open a LAN server, it does not show up on the client's multiplayer screen. I have tried using the ip coupled with the port number on direct connect. When I use direct connect it says java.net.connectexception. I can join other people's LAN servers, but nobody can join mine. Please help me.
Same thing happens to me sometimes, not only in minecraft, also in other games... I think I did something and the problem was solved, I'll tell you when I remember...

the firewall on your PC is probably interfering with both the outgoing LAN game announcement, and the incoming direct connections.
No that is not it. I tried turning off my firewall already.
It worked at one point and then it just stopped working
yes, like magic, for no good reason, all by itself.
must be gremlins.
well, when they die, it'll just start working again, won't it?
No. It has been like this for a solid 6ish months now. Could it be from the aftermath of a virus or a failed mod download?
