Got back into Minecraft because the misses wanted to learn about it. Got her a license and got her working on single player while I gathered parts to rebuild a server again.
The server is currently running Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop LTS and is hosting over the wireless LAN with an internal IP pool generated by the router. For the sake of providing examples, I will say the network is 10.10.10.0/24 range. I've setup the host box to not have any whitelists/black lists on the OS side to make it in theory a plug and play server once the server .jar is executed. The current server version I'm running is 1.11.2 to match the latest clients. Originally on the server was setup to run the whitelist.json setup which was configured to only include her account and mine and I was able to get in just fine and navigate the world. She tries to direct connect and the constant Failed to connect to the server java.net.ConnectException! Connection timed out! no further information!
I'm able to connect my laptop (10.10.10.4) via the wireless just fine to the server IP (10.10.10.3). Using the same wireless AP, just so I don't get questions on this, she's unable to connect her laptop (10.10.10.5) to the server IP via a direct connect. I've checked her java versions and even installed the older .jar executable for Minecraft and the issue persists. I've added the private option in on the Windows Firewall for Java and even have gone so far to disable the Windows Firewall completely to test. Still no luck.
I've started to look into the configurations of the server and I don't see any issues. The /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are set to the default and I've even added her host as well as mine to the IPV4 config section of the /etc/hosts file.
I'm leaning towards it being something on her system, but I can't figure out what. Another oddity is that I went to install PuTTY on her system so I could use a single system for debugging, but I can't even SSH to the server from her system... No connection period. Also it seems that the router might be blocking pings through the wireless network, so I can't test connectivity.
Thoughts? Solutions?
