Make sure when your connecting to the client the ip is either
127.0.0.1 or localhost

When you want other  people to connect to your game, you must give them your IP adress, but in this situation login with either of those two IP's instead, and let me know if that helped

If you're connecting from the same computer, use 127.0.0.1 for your IP. If you're connecting from another computer, but within your home network, use whatever local IP the computer your server is on.

46.6kb?? Jesus. *gives Band Aid*

Don't use Hamachi, though. Use a no-ip; Hamachi only let's 20 people or so sign up with it, before you have to start paying or something stupid.

sometimes local networks block contacting themselves looping back through the internet. run your server and then go to www.canyouseeme.org and type in the port, the website will say if its been port forwarded correctly, in which case dont worry only you are being blocked and other internet users will be able to get on, while you'll have to use a local network i.p.
