Oh yeah, I remember now. It wasn't registering the IP. But yeah there should be a way, I was just having technical issues with it.

You do need to forward the port in some routers.

Or connect via Ethernet cable and avoid the router, if possible.

But yeah, once any initial little hiccups are done, its actually very smooth, opening Minecraft takes longer.

Also that can turn on cheats in a world where cheats are disabled.
