i started a little bukkit server on my home network so the ip is changing everyday i want to play with my brother ( in same network) and with other dudes from my school people can connect on my server by tipping in the ip of my router i can connect by tipping in localhost but my brother can't he takes his internet connection from the same router how we both can connect???
You can't use localhost from two different machines and exspect them to open the same adress... Use the internal IP. You can get this by typing ipconfig in windows cmd or ifconfig in linux shell
Are you sure your brother is connecting to your actual network? If wireless, sometimes people connect to other access points (neighbors, tethered phones, etc) without realizing it. Have him try to ping the IP address of your server.
yes im sure its the same router my ip ends with 32 and his with 33 there is just one network in our house
I'm running out of ideas then. Try temporarily shutting down the firewalls on both machines. Also, if you have a third-party firewall, many are bi-directional and require you to 'trust' each network you connect to.
yes i solved it i first think he has to connect to his own internal ip but he must connect to my internal ip I'm stupid thank you all for yor help
Glad it helped. I forget to ask the simple questions sometimes. JWhy actually had it right close to the top of these posts
