We have a home Lan.
With Win10.
Two children want to play minecraft together on the Lan. It won't work. They ask me to fix it.
I get two machines up and see them both in Explorer and put minecraft on each of them and.... it's all okay.
Can't actually connect the two because it's the same minecraft account on both and it won't allow it but bar that everything's fine. It was about to do it.
So I go to one child's machine and see (it tells me) he hasn't got network discovery switched on. So I switch that on. And then I see my own machine on the network with Explorer right there.
So I assume everything's fine.
Now this evening I see I can't see his machine from mine. And he can't make a minecraft Lan connection.
Would that be because I used my admin account on his machine to switch on discovery and it needs to be done again with his account?
If that's not it what's probably happening?
Now we don't use Workgroups the network should be pretty straightforward. Nothing for me to do to theoretically allow games like Minecraft to use the Lan for their group playing?
Or is some special configuring required?
