When I try to connect to my brother's computer offline via LAN, an error message occurs, and says that the server rejected me because my name is already taken. How can I reslove this or change my name with the new launcher?

@Daniel I think he means a computer-to-computer connection via a cable, however it would simplify things if the OP would give more info.
Are you both using the same account? If you are then you will need to register another account, sorry.
Using the previous version's launcher, my brother and I were able to play on the same account if one of us played offline.This isn't pirating or misusing the game, correct?
The previous version's launcher had the option to play offline. We can't find any button or dropdown with this offline option on the new launcher that came with 1.6.1. If y'all could let me know whether we are just not seeing the button, or this option will be covered in a future update, that would be very helpful. Thank you for your attention.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Offline Lan?
