So i recently got minecraft back because my younger brother needs someone to play with. So i set up a few mods with forge on 1.6.4 i turn lan server on, my brother goes into multiplayer and the server wont show up. We then switch roles nothing happens... Would someone be able to help with this issue?
im a bit of a noob so how do i get my java through my firewall?
Assuming you're using Windows (10), open start menu and search firewall.
Windows Firewall should show, open it. On the left of the window that opened, select "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall".
Click "Change Settings", then find Java (there will likely be more than one) in the list and make sure the boxes directly to the left of it and "private" are checked. (Unless you're PC thinks your network is public)

P.s all the mods are the exact same.
What do you mean with wont show up? You added the server to the list?

I don't think mods are the issue in this case, if you try the same version without mods likely the same thing will happen.
Make sure any forms of Java or Minecraft are allowed in the firewall (or temp. disable the firewall) and try again.
