So, Me and my brother like FTB. We were both playing LAN together on the direwolf20 modpack. We both had macintosh Computers. Now, I got a new laptop Windows 8. Now, when he tries to join my world, it will say "Connecting to server..." for like an hour. If I try to join his, it wont show up in multiplayer. We tried starting a server and hamachi. They were too laggy. When we did LAN before it was fine. Now, it is messed up and wont work. We really want to play. Anybody help us?

Windows 8 ...
But all seriousness aside.
I'd first look for firewall settings to see if windows 8 is keeping him out.
Then I'd verify what the IP address is for the windows 8 machine and have the friend try to direct connect on that address. So long as both of you are on the same router, shouldn't be an issue.
Those two things seem like the most likely culprets.

I did everything that it said. I put the launcher.jar into a folder on the desktop. When I go into the Options on the launcher, it does not show it is on the desktop. I also have a question witht some other things. Do I JUST PUT THE FTB+LAUNCHER.JAR into the folder? And It didnt work when I tried LAN again. I dont know if it is because of the location of the folder or what. Help would be appreciated.
Im not sure how to do that though. Do you have a skype? It would be a lot easier[DOUBLEPOST=1370882030][/DOUBLEPOST]i just need to know why it isnt working.[DOUBLEPOST=1370882141][/DOUBLEPOST]This is what it looks like: http://gyazo.com/e87feae305d761e390ef376b3d90b8cb
And do I put these folders in?:http://gyazo.com/6710fff1e124fe3fdf3952b94130e804
It isn't working because you aren't doing it right.
Start your launcher
Click the options tab
Click on the "..." button next to the Install Folder area
Find the folder you put on your desktop. It should look like this "C:\Users\You\Desktop\FTB"
Click Open.
Go to the Modpacks tab.
Select the modpack you want
Click launch.
Start your launcher
Click the options tab
Click on the "..." button next to the Install Folder area
Find the folder you put on your desktop. It should look like this "C:\Users\You\Desktop\FTB"
Click Open.
Go to the Modpacks tab.
Select the modpack you want
Click launch.
I did all of that. The only problem now is he cant see the LAN on multiplayer. It doesnt show up. How to fix this?
