I have a single player world that I have played on with two others using Lan. Suddenly, however a connection problem has occurred.
Here is the setup:
3 Computers, 2 laptops, 1 desktop.
Laptop #1 has Lan activated, however only the Desktop computer is able to see, and connect. Laptop #2 is not.
I did some experimentation, and found the situation is the same for laptop #2. Also if a Lan world is on the desktop, neither laptop #1 or #2 can see, or connect to it.
I have tried to see if typing in the IP addresses for the computers in "Direct Connect" as this has worked in the past in earlier versions of the game, but it did not work this time.
I am stumped. I am thinking it might be a IP or a router problem but I don't know.
Thank you! I changed the settings on both laptops and it is working again! I never would have thought that the settings would just change like that, strange huh. You are cool.

Please help.
First guess, the laptops are not connected to a "Private" / "Home" network, so more restrictive firewall rules are in place.
Any Idea on how to fix that?
Reconfigure the laptop.
