    1. Recheck the cable, make sure the first three numbers of host's IP are not 127. If so, both computers are not linked yet.
      If it still doesn't work, try to turn off the firewall.

      Good luck!

    1. Make sure the lan cable is well connected. Because if it's not, your ip address becomes 127.0.0.1. It's the wrong one.

    1. Hello, try to disconnect your computer from Internet and to desactivate firewall. You have connect computers through a LAN cable. If I have my computer connected to the Internet I can not join but if I haven't it works. I hope it helps.
