R-No

Hello, I am totally new to Minecraft but my 6 year old is getting into it, so needless to say, so am I. I would like to set up a local server on my Unraid server so we can play together in the same world. He is using a Nintendo Switch and I am using my iPhone 12. I downloaded the binhex/minecraftbedroxkserver and took all the default configs. However, I am not able to connect to it, every time I try using the server name and IP address I get the 'Unable to connect to world'. I have not changed any settings and read somewhere to enable LAN on my server? I have no idea how to do this... Is that the only thing I need to do? I am only paying locally, not outside my home (yet). Edit: It does not respond to Ping, even though I can ping my server from a different utility on my iPhone. Thanks! Arno
