Server and client on same computer

[jason93]

I made a dedicated counterstrike server on my computer. I can connect to it from other computers but I would like to connect to the server from the same computer. I assume that it's a port issue between the client and the host. This is my target line in my SRCDS.exe: C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -port 27016 +ip 192.168.1.199 +maxplayers 20 +map gg_fy_snow

It just says tried connection 4 times and never connects when I try to connect to the server. Do I need to change the port somewhere else for it to connect. The host/client computer is running vista business 32-bit. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks for your help!!

Simply.....you cant. Its pot luck if you can host and play on the same computer. Some can, some cant. Sorry.

Try to add your server to your favorites by I.P. and Port:
