I am trying to connect to a server using the beta 1.8 server jar, i am using betacraft as i am on an m1 mac. my friend is on the same wifi network as me and same version. When i start the server jar on my laptop i can connect but he cant, and vice versa when he opens it on his windows computer.
They are showing two different IP addresses. we are completely stumped. tried using hamachi but not compatiable with M1. why could this be happening?

is your friend connecting using the local ip of your server machine?
localhost or 127.0.0.1 is not a local network ip, btw

we both used the ip that appears on the internet settings on our computers
but they were different ip’s
and we’re using the same wifi network
reef fox
you might have to disable the firewall on your host machine
reef fox
but they were different ip’s
use the ip that belongs to your machine

sorry im dumb, how do i find that on mac?
reef fox
system preferences -> wifi -> details -> (scroll down) IP address
hallow chasm
thats the one that i myself can connect to with no issue, my friend cannot connect
reef fox
could you send the two IPs? i suspect they may be in different subnets
i mean local IPs, not public IPs, btw
hallow chasm
is it possible i could send them via a dm?
reef fox
it doesn't matter if you send them here. they're local.
hallow chasm
okay

ok, that's a NAT ip. not local but still ambiguous enough to not get your exact location exposed. that's very weird, given that you're supposedly on the same network
reef fox
system preferences -> wifi -> details -> (scroll down) IP address
and it's weird because you should see the local IP in this place, not anything else
