cant join own server

[ewiw]

OK i set up a srcds for counterstrike source everything is going well but one thing everybody else can join but me i tried to type connect (external ip) but it says failed after 4 retrys. dont say "you cant host a server and play css at the same time" cause i know you can cause i have done it before. my ports are fowarded proply cause no one has trouble joining (but me).
thanks in advanced

[ewiw]

You must connect with your local ip. /faceplam * * *

[ewiw]

please anything else

[realchamp]

connect localhost:27015

[ewiw]

nope that doesent work either i type it up in console but nothing happens it doesent even say error
please i really need to be able to go on this server

[realchamp]

Are your on the same network as the server? And do you host and play on the same server?(computer)

[ewiw]

yes, but please dont say that i cant play and host on the same comp cause i have done it and i know people who do it

[realchamp]

You can do it if you know what your doing.

Do you do both?

[ewiw]

i did with the dedicated server that you get with steam but then that stoped working for some reason so i used srcds which is better, everyone else can join but not me. yes i do both so how do i make it work? please help

[realchamp]

Try connecting to your local IP. (127.0.0.1 and then router ip)

[ewiw]

nope that doesent work. failed after 4 retrys
any more suggestions?

[realchamp]

Try your actual ip on your local network (192.x.x.x)

[ewiw]

done it but its still says failed after 4 retrys :S
any more?

The server is running on the computer that you write on? (desktop!)
