For some reason nobody in my house can connect to my LAN world like they did in previous minecraft versions. Anybody know how to fix?

Is everyone using your home network?
I'm having the same problem.
It's not my firewall or internet
My brother is in my house trying to connect.
I've tried many fixes but no luck

They will probably fix this in the next version
ya have to be in diffrent rooms/diffrent outlets i found that out
LoL i have the same problem but i have my own server so i could care less
Same problem! My sister was trying to connect to my LAN world but when she clicked on it it only says Connecting to Server... then it later fails to connect. But when she opens a LAN server, I can't even see it in the Multiplayer bar. (Note our computers are directly next to eachother. And we ARE using the same home network.) Help?
Try this:
open the command prompt (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/94 ... rompt.html)
type in "ipconfig" and press enter.
note the "IPv4 Address(usually it is 192.168.1.X)(X being any number)
Open up minecraft and start the world on LAN.
go on the other minecraft and connect to the Ipv4 address of the world host.

I've tried this and it still didn't seem to work. :/
Do the IPv4 Address but when you start it will tell you the port to use
This is good.. I did this, but what I did different from you, was.
Once you are inside your minecraft world, and press Open to Lan.
There should come a message saying:
Local game hosted on port XXXXX
this port number is important.
When your friends is typing the IP adress wich you got from the Ipconfig. For example. 192.168.1.13 be sure to add the port the game was hosted on.
Like this: 192.168.1.13:XXXXX. This worked for me.

i don't think it works at all now i used to be able to play but now i can't it's obviously just a bug they need to fix but still try opening a new 1.6.1 world and see what happens maybe
Listen my lan works every time so you need start a lan then go to multiplayer scroll down and see something saying "Your Minecraft Name"'s Lan then click and joined!!! BUT!!!You need to be connected to the same internet !!!
Yes I have been doing this in 1.5.2, but it just doesn't work in 1.6
snoopspawya have to be in different rooms/different outlets i found that out
No, just no. Being in a different room could help depending if you don't get WiFi signal in one room, but different power outlets, no just no.
I'm having similar problems. It may be related to our crappy router, although we didn't have this trouble before 1.6 so I'm thinking the combination is somehow messing it all up?
Either way, I couldn't even see any LAN games until both us updated our java all the way, which previously we just had to be running the same version, not the necessarily the newest. But it's still hit or miss, I can't see it or I can't connect. Once in a blue moon I can, and but then the connection is fuzzy. I can't see the host moving or affecting the world (which is weird, because he can see me moving and everything I'm doing). We've experienced problems before, but not like this.
We're getting a new router to see how much that helps, but honestly I'm fairly positive 1.6 is having severe LAN issues. Has anyone officially reported this over at https://mojang.atlassian.net/?

Mines never worked lol it only works when i go on mods
LAN is very sketchy...
You have to add them as a safe contact - remove firewall, delete bin, make a Hamachi network not server let them join, then make them type localhost and there.
I Have The Same Problem Is It Windows 8 Because My 2 Brothers Do Not Have Windows 8 They Can Play LAN Worlds. Say Same As tomkinssean if you think its Windows 8
Mines ok but its in the same room.
[]I-Like-Mods[]LoL i have the same problem but i have my own server so i could care less
Smart.Very.
It Worked For Me and im doing some things
Huh. It works for me, But only on a desktop, Usually it doesn't work on laptops here, although laptops can log onto the desktop lan servers
