Not your typical connection problems - Just can't figure this out.

George Stewart1 · Nov 15, 2022

I have a weird connection issue on my minecraft server.

All clients are on v1.19.41 including server.

All server participants use their xbox gamertag's to join. We are all on each others friends lists.

All mobile clients connect without any issues. Either over wireless or cellular networks. They get in just fine.

From time to time, we like to use our laptops instead of our mobile devices. When we try to use windows 10 devices we can only see the world and connect if I reboot the server, and they quickly join. If they wait over 1 minute they still see the server but can't join. All other type devices continue to connect without issue.

If we bring the windows pc onto the same network \lan of the server then we can connect without issue. It is only when outside the lan network that windows machines can only connect for a brief time. If I shutdown minecraft and relaunch it, they can all connect again for a moment in time. But this gets frustrating as I cannot always be available to restart minecraft.

Any helpers out there or others who have had issue?

Well Minecraft is the only game where I host a server. I would still contact Mojang even though this is a windows only platform issue? All other clients connect, and even the windows clients can connect any anytime when on the same lan\network. It is only an issue for Windows clients when using any other connection.

Hope you're doing great today despite this George

Just to confirm, is this happening only with Minecraft?
Or if you try a different game something similar happens?

I ask this because if the problem is happening only with Minecraft the best option for you is contact Mojang directly

Or report this problem to them here:

Just happened to me. If I can't figure this out I have no problem canceling Comcast.
