Hi there - I'm a new user. I have downloaded the server on my windows laptop. The server is running with the default setting. All I want to do is connect locally - not even over the internet. When I put in the server details on my IPAD MCPE "Friends" section. I put in the laptops IP address 192.168.2.20 with the default port 19132. It just says - locating server ??? (with no green light) If I try to connect - all I get is the very first black screen of MCPE - Syncing Pack with Server. It never goes beyond that - and I force close the MCPE on my IPAD. I have turned off my windows firewall as well.
Btw, think about the logic behind it. How can MCPE Query an IP Address w/o connecting to internet. PocketMine has RakLib, this actually allows you to connect to the Local Server using Internet. If wanna play locally, just create a world.
