My friend and I used to play a lot of minecraft. Today when he came over we decided to play some. I created a world, opened it to lan, but it just wouldn't show up. We even tried direct connect with our ip address and port, but recieved the error: "java.net.SocketException: network is unreachable, no further information."
Here's what we've tried:
Checked minecraft in windows firewall, which we've already done before. (It fixed the world not showing up before, but now even if it's checked the world isn't there)
Direct connect.
Using the ping command in the commandline. We both ran ipconfig and tried to ping each other, which was successful, which probably means it's a minecraft or firewall problem.
