Three PCs in the living room. PCs #2 and #3 can host games, PC #1's games cannot be seen by either of the other two. Ports are forwarded on router, exceptions are made for Minecraft and Java on PC #1. Further confusing is that PC #1 can BE pinged by the other two, but it cannot ping out to the other two.
I've spent more than a few hours trying to get this situation figured out. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Nah, I've done things like this when my friends were over-- all you have to do is run an offline mode server in your network not forwarding anything- you can connect to it via a local ip address.
It's offline mode, I know; but I fail to see what's so bad about it when you're just hanging with some friends, they want to try playing minecraft since they've never done it before so i have minecraft installed on the various random old computers in my house, it's easy to pull out when we want to play pixelmon or whatever else.
