Am I able to run a server AND connect to my own server on the SAME computer?

Everyone else can join. I've tried both LAN and WAN and both get the same result. LAN IP is 192.168.0.1:27015. Wan IP is 24.x.x.x. It says "connecting" gets to two bars in the connecting screen in TF2 and then says "disconnected after 4 attempts to connect" or something like that.

So am I not able to host a server and play at the same time?

Noob question I know. Thnx.

I can't play any server if you run your server on the same computer. Anyone know a way around this? Or am I stuck?

Noone can tell me whether I can run my own server and play on it at the same time?

Like I said, I tried both IP addresses but I get a connection error after "4 retries" it says.

Why did you post the same exact question in two different sections?

You shouldn't host and play on the same computer, that's what the ingame create server button is for.
