Playing over a network, cannot connect to server  Tye
HackersPosted 2/28/2011 8:05:28 AM I know this problem can be
caused by a multitude of things, but was curious if anyone has a
simple solution before I started hardcore trouble shooting.  I
try to connect one PC to another over a network for SMP (using
local IP), and can't. I've tried running the server on either
comp, but when the other PC tries to connect it just hangs on
"Connecting to server" for about about 20 seconds, then I get
"Connection timed out: connect". I have all the correct ports
open.  Has anyone encountered a similar problem, or know how to
go about this? Any help appreciated. I told you I was hardcore.

include the port the server is running on in the IP address. For
example, lets say your Lan IP is, and the port you use 25565, to
join the server you would type  I don't think you'd need to open
the port for playing on a network, but doesn't hurt ;) I would
change the world, if G
