Dear Support,
Today I bought 2 copies of Minecraft: Java Edition to be able to play together with my son/wife.
When we are trying to setup the LAN sharing it doesn't work with 'advanced' knowledge.
Setup:
Computer A:
Windows 10, Minecraft: JE 1.16.5 (just installed today, no mods), Windows firewall is OFF, network connection is wired, fix IPv4
Computer B:
Linux Mint, Minecraft: JE 1.16.5 (just installed today, no mods), firewall is OFF, network connection is wired, fix IPv4
Both computer can ping each other. I can make SSH connection from A to B without any problem.
Doesn't matter on which computer I share the game, there is no way to connect from the other. The shared game doesn't display on the list of games (nothing listed at all). When I'm trying to enter the IP address of the 'server' manually I got the following exception error:
"io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information:"
Based on the log (from the Launcher), the client is trying to open different port and there is no way to enter the server port information when I try to add the server manually.
The only way to get the connection working, if you add the server IP address and the port manually, like: 192.168.0.201:12345
So if the computer user have some knowledge about how an IP connection is working, can make it work. All others are browsing the net, and try to find a solution.
I don't know if the server is announcing the shared game or simply listen on the open port, but it looks like the client doesn't see any server till it manually added. But because the port is changing every time when a new game is shared, it is not help to much.
Can you do something to improve the customer satisfaction in this case?
Thank you in advance!
