Hey guys, ever since the 1.6 horse update, lan has not worked for me and my friends, most of the time lan worlds just don't get found, sometimes they do, by the connection always times out when we try to join. Does anyone know if this has happened to anyone else and or how to fix it?
Are you guys sure you are on the same network? If your not, you won't be able to connect to each other. The 1.6.2 update lan connection is working fine.

Yea, were all on the same network, and we have a server that works fine, it's just the lan that doesn't seem to work.
You shouldn't need to mess with your ip and port on LAN. One person simply needs to click open to LAN, and the other person should see the other computer. Make sure you when you open to LAN, the ip after where it says open to LAN, is the same network the person trying to connect is on. You can check this as explained above.
are you gettting an ip like 0.0.0.0:XXXXX? if so, if you are on windows 7, hit the home buttion and search "cmd". run it and type "ipconfig". on the 3rd line down, it will give you ur internal network IP. this is your server ip, it will be something like 192.168.2.x. just add the servver port which will be a 5 digit number that appears in your chat. (in MC) so the final ip you can connect with is 192.168.2._:25565 (the blank space is a dynamic number that can vary between computers, and the :XXXXX will change too. hope this works!
I'm running windows 7 and my friends are on 8, we're all on the same network at my friends house and we still can't connect to each other, we've tried what you suggested before using the direct connect option but that still doesn't work.
