Windows 10: Minecraft Windows 10 Cannot join external or non-featured servers

When I try to join an external or non-featured server in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, it responds with this screen:

This happens with every external server I tried. I know these servers work, as the player counts are 50-100, and the ping is always low and has a green wifi signal next to it. This issue started with this latest update. I can join featured servers perfectly fine.

I can't connect to any external servers on Minecraft

Hey there, Wlinthic

Is this a public server your trying to join?

Is it a friend your trying to join?

I am running a Beta version of Minecraft Windows 10 edition (which is now Minecraft), and I can only see featured servers (Non of my friends play Minecraft), and I can't seem to see a list of other servers unless I use other sites and see if they are open.

If your entering the information in, such as server IP. Then you will need to ensure that the server address and information has been entered correctly. Otherwise it will not connect.

Can you post a screen shot of your start screen in Minecraft, please?

Regards,

 

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

Tutorials/Setting up a server – Official Minecraft Wiki

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server
