Ok so i was running my server perfectly fine, no real problem cept i didnt have enough bandwith but no biggy cause im moving to college soon. ANYWAYS, now i cant connect to my server. i used the same ip i used before to connect and now it cant find the server. The IP it says in the cmd prompt isnt right because it starts with 192.168. I was using my actual IP addy and that worked fine. Now it doesnt work. Why would that be? I checked my ip, it hasnt changed so idk the problem. PLEASE HELP

are you hosting and playing on the same computer? if yes, then use your internal IP to connect to your game

Did you install any software that can interfere with the server maybe?

Like I installed a program yesterday called netlimiter, it monitors networkspeeds and can limit them to a certain number. It blocked my whole gateway for some reason without installing anything like a firewall and stuff.
Didn't expect that but I'm sure it can happen with outher programs too
