However, both our computers can connect to servers on the Internet and his computer can connect to mine if I share my map with him. Both computers are running Windows 7, both are on the same hard-wired LAN, and we’re running the exact same versions of Minecraft. I can ping his computer, and he can ping mine but we can’t connect to play.

I've watched a few episodes of 'The Minecraft Project' on YouTube for inspiration, and I occasionally play Minecraft for an hour or two as a diversion (it's like LEGOs on a computer, but much more fun, because there are zombies!). My humble little Minecraft farm. One thing I've always liked is The Minecraft Project's look and feel, mostly due to syndicate's use of the DokuCraft Light texture pack.
However, getting that texture pack to work along with other mods and patches (especially the automatic tool switcher mod) took some work on my Mac, and I thought I'd post my process for getting everything to work here, for the benefit of others having the same troubles (especially those getting the 'Use the patcher noob' messages where water, lava, etc. Are supposed to appear):.
Switch Minecraft to the default texture pack. Download and run. If you have problems, delete the entire 'bin' folder from the minecraft directory (in Users/yourusername/Library/minecraft/), reopen Minecraft and run it (this will force-redownload all the Minecraft binary files), and then try MCPatcher again). Download the latest, and place it in the proper folder (on a Mac, drop the downloaded.zip file into Users/yourusername/Library/minecraft/texturepacks/. Download and follow the directions in the linked forum thread to install it. Download and put the.class file into the minecraft.jar file at Users/yourusername/Library/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar. If the jar file can't be opened like a directory, change the filename to.zip, double-click on it to unarchive it, then put the file into the directory and change the name back to minecraft.jar again.
NOTE: To open the 'Library' folder in Mac OS X Lion, hold down Option while in the 'Go' menu in the Finder, and you'll see 'Library' appear in the list of folders there.
