Windows 10: Unable to connect to Minecraft Java Edition LAN World while on the same wifi network.

Hi,Both my sons used to be able to connect their own laptops to their Minecraft Java Edition LAN World in order to play together. They were logged in to the same wifi network at home. They each have separate Minecraft accounts. However, after installing a network printer and network drive in my home, one of my son's laptop is unable to detect or connect to the LAN world within the same wifi network. I have tried some of the methods suggested in this community, such as Turning on Sharing and Network Discovery, ensuring that the MSC services are running Function Discovery Provider HostFunction D

Minecraft for Windows 10 can't connect to local server on LAN

Completed stock install of the java-based Minecraft server (version 1.13) on a Windows 10 machine #1. Forwarded ports, opened firewalls, and external "ping" sites confirm that they can see the server, and show the custom MOTD that I set up. So far so good. Port is 25565, and netstat -a -b -n confirms that only Minecraft is listening on this port.

On Windows 10 machine #2 (connected to the same network as machine #1 only via wifi) or Windows 10 machine #1 (hard-wired to network), I run Minecraft for Windows 10, log into Xbox Live, and "Add Server" using my WAN IP (not LAN IP). The server cannot be located, and if I try to connect, I get "Unable to connect to world" after a wait of about 15 seconds. How can I configure the server to allow these Win10 clients to connect? Extensive googling has been fruitless.

I also tried using "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" as the server IP in the Windows 10 clients, as well as the WAN IP.

I am out of trouble-shooting ideas, so would very much like some help - is this some kind of versioning issue? Or is there some kind of setting in server.properties that I need to change? Heeeeellpppp!!!!

EDIT:

• No whitelisting
  
• I tried the server LAN IP (192.168.x.x) as well - same error
  
• The Minecraft client has no issues connecting to the "featured
  servers"
  
• Router is Asus RT-N66U; no network services filters, blacklists, or parental controls
  
• The clients are the UWP version, from the Microsoft Store, not the
  Java versions.
  

 

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition: Unable to connect to world

Hi Angelito,

The game server error is one of the possible reasons why you're unable to connect to the Minecraft world. To help you resolve this concern, I need to gather more details. Kindly answer the questions below:

• Were you able to connect to an external server on Minecraft before?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?
• When did the issue start?
• Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?
• Do you have a firewall (or antivirus firewall)? If yes, try to disable it.

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps using the link below. This could help remove problems with an app from Microsoft Store.
