He's getting IP addresses confused with ports (I know what he put aren't IP addresses, but it's the only explination for him having to enter something different everytime he wants to allow friends to connect).
actually it has nothing to do with his ip. the way minecraft LAN is setup makes it so a random free port is chosen every time the game launches rendering the last port he opened on his router useless so he has to go and setup the new port displayed in the current open game.
and by all means am I not disregarding that DHCP does cause an ip change its just that unfortunately this is a function of the game itself so it is a bit harder to fix
So I recently got back into playing Minecraft and using John Smith's Texture Pack, which I'll put my life on the line and say it's the best texture pack ever made. Plus, it's classy as ****.
I'm only going to retextures the mods I'm currently using, but if you know of a mod which you think I should support I might do it if it's not too big of a hassle. I haven't done THAT much right now, but it's a start
To install any of these addons, just download the file, open it up, take the folder from it, and drop it in the JohnSmith texture pack zip in the TexturePacks folder.
