Unable to connect to LAN game.

[jad64gc]

Hello. I'm attempting to play Blockland over a LAN server, however my LAN server cannot be found on my friends Laptop.

We are both in the same apartment.
I have disconnected windows firewalls.
I do not and cannot gain access to the router (College Dorms)

Help greatly appreciated.

LAN means that you are connected to the same network, generally meaning the same router.
If you don't have access to that there isnt a ton you can do.  However, windows 7 laptops with built in wifi generally have the ability to set up their own local network which other devices can connect to, and I'm sure that with enough tinkering, you can play LAN games over it.

This is called ad-hoc and has been available since forever.
