I know that it's very strange to host something on WSL, but I want to use Windows' GUI (e.g. for gaming), while hosting a server without using the <s>&ZeroWidthSpace; disgusting &ZeroWidthSpace;</s> windows commands.

## What I'm Doing

First, I had a server computer with windows 11 pro, and installed WSL:

Code: 
OS: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm 12.5 x86_64, 
Kernel: Linux 5.15.146.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Then I opened a tmux session and ran Velocity on port 25565

Code: 
[08:03:41 INFO]: Velocity 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT (git-71bb0246-b392)
[08:03:41 INFO]: Copyright 2018-2024 Velocity Contributors. Velocity is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3.
[08:03:41 INFO]: velocitypowered.com - GitHub

The only part I changed in the config file:

Code: 
# What port should the proxy be bound to? By default, we'll bind to all addresses on port 25577.
bind = "0.0.0.0:25565"

## The Issue

When I open Minecraft on the server computer itself and try to connect to the WSL IP (172.27.203.221), I got this (on the server side):

Code: 
log

As you can see, the Unable to authenticate player error pops out and the player disconnected without any reason shown

## Things I Tried to Solve the Problem

I don't even know what is happening!
In my opinion, there should be no problem at all when connecting to its own WSL from Windows

But I still tried something:

1. netsh: Using portproxy to forward port to WSL

Code: 
Listen on ipv4:             Connect to ipv4:

Address         Port        Address         Port
--------------- ----------  --------------- ----------
0.0.0.0         22          172.27.203.221  22
0.0.0.0         25565       172.27.203.221  25565

2. Hyper-V: Changing the WSL V-Switch to External Network would make the computer lost network connection completely

## Expectation

I can do something so that I can connect to the Minecraft server from any computer in LAN

## By the Way

  • I can connect to the SSH server hosting on WSL from any computer on LAN
  • I can ping the Minecraft server from the server computer's Minecraft (though it takes about 4 seconds to ping), but cannot detect it from other computer on LAN

Because the question is a bit complex, I might forget some details or things that I have tried to do. If you think my description is unclear, please correct me (>.-)d
