Trouble connecting to local server. NSSS mod for alpha
I've followed so many guides out there for fixing connection issues, but still no luck. I really don't get it 😞
I downloaded the Not so Seecret Saturday MultiMC instance for my mom and I so we could try it. I ran the server JAR and edited the server properties to include the local IP address, and switched online mode to false.
This did not work, so I double checked that our clients were matching. Yep. I made sure we were using the same version of Java 8, also yep. I tweaked our firewall and antivirus settings- still didn't work.
I can start the server perfectly fine, I load in and seemingly have no complications myself. But whenever she tries joining, she gets one of two error messages- "connection timed out" or "connection refused".
We've played plenty of vanilla/very lightly modded Minecraft together before with no problems, always using MultiMC, and the local network for connection. So idk why this isn't working. We are using the latest client and latest server for NSSS.
I would be eternally grateful if anyone has any suggestions that I haven't thought to try yet 😞
