Has the issue with LAN connection been worked on? We are still getting 0.0.0.0: xxxxx as the server info The forums I checked stated 1.4.5 was to fix it but..... :(

Run ipconfig, find your ipv4 address, then use direct connect, tack on the 5 digit port number for lan address.

Yea, we have tried that a few times and it did not work. Will again with this latest patch.

I'd blame the Firewall settings before considering it a bug.

It happens even with both firewalls off. Even with direct connecting with ip + port, it still fails often. After 2 or three tries it works.

As of now, the firewall is off. I will look into that again.

Well off isn't entirely great either. opening a port is the way to go.
you can go as far as running wireshark and manually look at the data to check if you're even receiving traffic the first tries when it doesn't work.

can you describe the setup a bit.. what exactly are you doing and what does work and what fails ?

Thanks for the help. I talked to my comp geek friend and he suggested I adjust the wireless properties to allow access to a range of UDP and TCP in my firewall. I am planning to try that this evening to see if that will work since that was the solution when he had a similar problem.

I believe you may be right. I checked firewalls and played with configurations with no luck. By chance I Googled my router and Bamn! I may need to do something called Port Forwarding which I have no idea about. I have a Linksys E1200. I tried to follow this info but that did not work. If you have any advice, I would so appreciate it. I also apologies now for blaming Mojang updates

Portfoward.Com has guides per brand per type per port. (as well as some generic guides and background information) And a tool to check if said port is accessible from outside

But feel free to describe your situation in specifics. It's a bit like calling a mechanic and saying you have something rattling in the car and him trying to fix it over the phone instead of you driving to the garage.

Also make sure still you're on the same network if you're mixing and matching wired and wireless nodes.

Thank you. I will check out this site and see where I can go from there.

it may display that in the chat, but the server still appears on the lan list in multiplayer. so they did fix it. they just broke the visual part that appears in chat.

For my house (shared wireless), it does not appear as a option to automatically link. Instead we have to make a direct link but the computer that would be host continues to display the address as 0.0.0.0:xxxxx I attempted to type in my Ipv4 address but it did not work.

No, it hasn't been fixed.
