    I made a server and it works fine. I can connect properly with the Connect to... (127.0.0.1:50301)
    But the problem is, we have a PC and a laptop at home. The server is getting hosted on the PC. But if we try to connect from the laptop to the server it doesn't work :(
    Any solutions how to connect with my laptop? (On the PC it works fine)

    If you want to connect from a computer inside the same house, you need to use the local network address in Connect To - you won't be able to join via the server browser.

    This is because most home routers do not set up NAT in such a way to work with game and other applications when hosted in the same network.
