So a bit of an odd issue I am experiencing and cannot figure it out.

On a windows 2012r2 server I am running the new Direwolf20 1.6.4 modpack (ver 1.0.8). My ports are open on my router (not that it matters for the issues I am seeing).

On my desktop that has a wired connection to router running windows 7 I can see the server both via the internal lan IP as well as the external IP using port forwarding. I also can log in and play just fine.

The issue is on my microsoft surface running windows 8.1. Even when connected to the same network via wireless I can see the server but every time I try to log in I cannot connect and it times out. Is this likely a java on the surface? I have used the same FTB launcher for both clients.

*edit* Using the FTB exe.. but using the FTB jar for the server.
 
it's probably the firewall in windows 8.1. add an exception in the launcher for it.
alternatively, throw the surface out the nearest window like a stupidly over expensive Frisbee and buy another windows 7 PC/tablet/all in 1
