Re: [Simply Computers] Hosting game problem

 

Hi

So you're on the same LAN and you're trying to connect to the external IP
address?

Have you tried connecting to the internal address instead of the external
address ( will be a 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x number). You won't
be able to connect to the external IP address from within the LAN.

Hope this helps.
