Dedicated Server Set-up Issue/Question

It's probably to do with your router and whether it supports hairpinning. From Wikipedia:

Hairpinning is where a machine on the LAN is able to access another machine on the LAN via the external IP address of the LAN/router (with port forwarding set up on the router to direct requests to the appropriate machine on the LAN).

If your router doesn't support this then it's likely your gaming PC can't "see" your server because they're on the same network and sharing the external IP adddress. However, others can see and connect to it when they view the multiplayer server list. To connect to it yourself, I found you can do so by using the local IP address of the server appended with the port e.g. 192.168.1.2:10308
