Help with my minecraft server hosted on my own device.

[applefrenzy1]

Hello so I made a minecraft server on my gaming pc but I decided to move it to my old laptop both of the devices are connected to the same wifi the only difference is that the laptop connects to the wifi wirelessly and the gaming pc connects with ethernet cable anyways I changed the port forwarding settings on my router and made the ip my laptop ip my friends can join the server but I cannot, I tried putting localhost, localhost:25565, the laptops ipv4 address and it still doesnt work.

You probably need to use the internal network ip, it will usually be something like 192.168.x.x .

Should be on the router admin device list page.

Otherwise you can run ipconfig /all in the terminal
