Unable to connect to a LAN game with 0.15.0 update via ethernet. Game is visible in Friends list. A message is received when selecting game stating that you can only connect via WIFI. We are connecting an Nvidia shield TV to to a Windows 10 version of the game.

When the Nvidia shield TV hosted the game, the LAN game was not visible within the friends list.

Hello Kaleb,

you've linked me to another issue that is marked as resolved. This issue is not resolved. It has reappeared in 0.15.0

Is there away to flag this issue to reopen?

I'm also seeing this exact issue on the Fire TV running on Ethernet when trying to connect to a world on an iPad. Worked fine for many months before the 15 update.

If I unplug the Ethernet on the FTV to force it to Wifi I can connect ok.

Message seen is: "You must be connected to Wifi to play with your friends."

I am still able to connect with the Nvidia Shield TV when the Ethernet is disconnected - wifi connection enabled. Ethernet connection was not an issue prior to 0.15.0.
