How do I join someone else's LAN world on Minecraft? My brother and I are trying to join each others worlds on it and are having trouble.
Best Answer
You can only join a LAN world if the host is on the same network (WiFi) as you. The definition of LAN is "Local Area Network" which basically means a network near you.

Do you have to be on the same internet to join a LAN world?
Note: Using one Minecraft account on two or more computers will not work to join the same world. Players over the internet can connect to a LAN game if one forwards the game's port on the host's router.This Mod Allows You To Play Singleplayer With Friends - NO LAN

If you have set up the server correctly, you should be able to connect to it without any issues assuming you are on the same LAN (Local Area Network).
If you are not on the same network then trying to connect as though you are on a LAN will not work. The best option is to create a regular server that is accessible over the internet.
But if you can't figure that out or if you really insist on connecting to a LAN only server, then you may want to try Hamachi. This will simulate being on a LAN over the internet. There is a tutorial for it specifically for Minecraft even. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Hamachi_connection_LAN
