In minecraft pocket edition, normal server. Many users have noticed that multiplayer through the same wifi network isn't possible. For me and many others, the game keeps saying along the lines of "unable to connect to world" despite both parties;

1 having the same wifi connection.

2 having an xbox live account and both have added eachother as friends on there and in game.

3 the ingame settings for multiplayer etc being turned on.

we don't have paid for realms, but we are only trying to play with 1 person besides ourself. After numerous tries of fixing this in game none of the attemps have been succesful. I am wondering if this is an in game bug that needs to be fixed.

thanks.
