hi guys,

I am trying to host a server just for me and a friend to play MP. i have tried to connect to "localhost" and also my internal IP address, but i just get an error saying,

"java.net.connectexception: connection refused: no further information:"

any help with this please? i am not very knowledgeable with servers etc ut have basic PC understanding.

as i said its just for a friend and myself to play on no mods or anything just vanilla minecraft.

 

Cheers in advance

Are you running the server when you do this and are you running a server or running minecraft in that mode that lets people on your local network join?
