Maybe you have been looking at the wrong network adapter.
If it’s on the same machine you’d localhost anyway.
when you type in IPConfig, what you get is your “Local” or “Private” IP Addresses. So the ones only for within your network
Steam as well as What’s my IP will tell you your public address, to which everyone can connect. I was able to ping your public IP address, meaning my computer was able to find yours with it:
thanks for the explanation i didnt know there was a different one used on the public side. that completely solves the connection issue. i think the only thing thats left to set up is why cant i click on it on the public list (or any other lists)
That kind of stuff happens to me often for no apparent reason. To connect to my FTP server from within my network I have to use my private address, however I can connect to it just fine using my public address and my phone’s LTE
