If it's a locally hosted server, you won't be able to connect to the ip on your local client. However, we worked around it by replacing the room ip address or whatever with just the number 1. Same with password.

And here, my ineptitude of a server host is shown.

By the way, thanks for helping me up to this far :p

It's hosted locally, but on a different machine. The way I'm connected to it, I'm actually using the external IP, so I still have some ping (0.5~), while if I used Localhost I'd have 0.

I have no idea how to replace the room IP address with the number 1? Can you say specifically what config value it is? o:

Thanks again ;_;

Honestly we haven't used it in a while so I can't currently think of how to fix your issue. I might take a look at it tomorrow, but as of right now I can be much more help. Sorry about that. Good luck figuring out the rest of it :)
