So, I sent a support email thing already, but if you guys can find a solution faster that'd be awesome
"I cannot connect to LAN with my sister. We both have MC, windows 10 Java edition. We can't see each others worlds on the multiplayer list, and direct connect times out. However, we can ping each others computers, and are on the same WiFi. Attempted fixes:
-Unblocking Java in firewall
-"Allowing other network users to connect to this computer's internet connection"
-Direct connect, regular "open to lan", "/publish"
-HamachiI
may be forgetting something, but I'm not sure. I've tried to google the solution, but it's all a repeat of what we've already tried. Any ideas?"
Some added notes I remembered later:
We both have the same kind of computer, got them for Christmas
I can connect to my brother's just fine (also has the same computer), it's just hers that doesn't like ours
Tested on both 1.14.4 and 1.15, with and without mods
lame default windows thing. I went through it and allowed some stuff it blocked, but still nothing. HOWEVER, I dunno what did it, but I'm getting a new error for direct connect
"io.netty.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:"

I'm completely stuck, so... any ideas?
Which antivirus is she using?

You have got to be kidding me.
For 7 months
I've been using the wrong IP address
...
that's embarassing
Anyway, I'm still not sure why we can't see each other on the list, but direct connect works now.
