I'm trying to host a server on my laptop so I can play with my friends, problem is I can't even connect to it from the computer I'm hosting it on. The server in server listing says "can't connect to server" and when I try to get on it says "io.netty.channel.ConnectionTimeoutException: connection timed out:".
If anyone knows what to do, I have tried rebooting Minecraft, the server, and my laptop, nothing has worked, if you want I will post screenshots.
I believe local IP but A: that is because the IPv4 didn't work even when the local IP was working, B: since I am trying to join my server on the computer I am hosting it on, I doubt it matters.

Which IP do you use to connect?

Do you think I should try the IPv4
Use localhost.
thx, it works!
