    I have my laptop hooked up to my PC router and they both run minecraft on shadecrest, but cant 'find' the lan server. Anyone know anything that can help?

    I know how to open to LAN, but it just wont show up on the other computer.
    (windows 7)

    Your IP can't be the same as another device.

    [edit for clarity]
    To get your computer's IP:
    Start Menu -> Run (I think this still works on 7, I'm on XP)
    Type "cmd" in the Run box
    In the Command Window, type "ipconfig"
