[Help] I need help to connect on LAN (Router)

[centrion]

Hey i need help to connect to my server via LAN,

i do everything on same computer, i have dont it before i restarted PC but now i got problems,
i have double checked ips hundreds of times,

i think it has something to do with a Loopback adapter,
anyone know how to configure a Loopback adapter to make it work to connect on LAN

P.s: i dont wanna open ports, i just want to connect to my Server from my own computer

i can play and run server in same computer without loopback

i think you still need to open your CS and GS port in able to connect to your server

dont forget to edit your HOST located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

put your LAN IP and WAN IP below the 127.0.0.1 local host

example

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.100  WAN IP

Here is a video i made a while back
It shows you how to install Loopback adapter but instead of IP 10.0.0.1 put your local IP

thx i changed in file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc as you said but

anyone know if i have to open ports?

[albigert]

you need to open the port

connect server port: 44405

game server port: 55901

also allow the CS and GS in your firewall

hope it helps you

okey thx, the problem was that before i restarted computer, i could connect without open ports

i just had to change ip in Connectserver to my local ip,
Well so there is no way to connect wihtout open ports? someone told me i could put 127.0.0.1 as all the ips even in main.exe but didnt worked for me

thx
