cannot connect to my own server!

Someone please help me I start up my server and my friend can get in and I try to join my server and it says "Your Steam Ticket Has Expired" How do I get by this so that I can join my own server?

You need to join your server through the lan tab and not the internet tab. Even if your server is on the internet you still have to join it through lan.

I cant even see it on Lan so thats a problem.

do you have a router? cuz you know that if you have a router your friend will have to connect to your external ip, and you have to connect to the lan ip..
