Clients can connect when not on the same network as server

monk8

Hi,

I seem to have an issue connecting to my server when on the same network as the server pc.
I have 3 other clients who are connected via mobile internet no problems, these work perfectly well.

But when I try to connect to the server via my laptop it hangs on "connecting".
This is the client log

The correct port is open etc. I just can't work out why clients can only connect if not on the same network as the server.

Thanks

Do you use a DNS name to connect to your server ?

Ensure you're connecting to LAN IP address as opposed to the WAN IP address. Accessing the WAN IP address from internal won't work (properly) if your router doesn't support NAT loopback.

Nope, i'm using the server's IP address

I'll try that, thanks!
