Hi, I set up a server and it shows up on the serverlist but I cannot join, it gives me the error message Connection timed out.
I want to know if I can do anything to fix this, or if it is just my internet connection.
EDIT: 350th post! :D
SECOND EDIT: I cannot join my server but others can. LOL.

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Re: Server is on serverlist but cannot join
It sounds like you are running the server from behind a home router and trying to connect from behind the same router using the IP address from the server list. This often will not work b/c many home routers block connections from inside the LAN to the public IP address on the router. There may be a way to enable NAT loopback on the router, but the easiest solution may be to connect directly to the private IP address of the server from inside your LAN.

Re: Server is on serverlist but cannot join
:3 that made sense...
I'm guessing because my IP is the same as the host IP that I cannot join?
Also I am hosting it from my home router.
