Its my first time with minecraft and i downloaded it so i can play with my girlfriend who is next to me. I went to local games while she had a open server and the options to the server were set to "Open" so that i can join i know this because my girlfriend's mom was in her server playing with her. What do i need to do to see servers?
Just downloaded minecraft problem?

Try turning off your firewall when you play the game but switch it on when you are browsing the internet.

This was a lan server right? If so both of you need to be connected to the same internet connection. Also if it doesn't pop up you could ask her for the temporry ip (It will say in her chat) and enter it in Direct connect. The temporary ip will change the numbers after: every time. Also if she went to someone elses house to play the whole number could be different. If all else failes then you might be better of finding a server to play on. Servers are free and a lot less restrictive than lan. If its not your girlfriends first time playing i'm sure she'll know how to join one and could tell you.
