Sorry if this has been covered.

I did not see any topics relating to my particular issue, so i'll be brief here.... somewhat.
I've recently set up a server following the tutorials here, which are VERY helpful by the way, and configured it to run on my computer ONLY.
That means i set all my ip's in my conf files to 127.0.0.1 and 255.255.255.0.
Now, my servers will connect to each other, and i can Log in and create characters on the server, but when i try to login to the actual game and view maps, as i would if i were playing, it stalls after the character select screen and eventually comes up with could not connect to server.
The map Server is reading my account login, and saying that my login was sucessfull, as is the character server.
I'm guessing this is an issue with one of my conf files or that the game just wont run if i connect from the same computer that the server is on. But i posted here for some input from people with experience in this.
Any input would be appreciated, and thanks in advance :)

What conf files did you edit? And may we see the edits? You should censor the passwords and such of course.

Following Reasons May Be:

1. your client is not compatible to your server files.
2. wrong ip on (s)clientinfo.xml
3. wrong packet version
