Local network

Hello. I am hosting a Tekkit server from one of my home computers. It is port-forwarded and my friends can connect to it. However, since it takes up so much memory I wish to play from another computer on the same network. It would not let me do this and "Refuses to Connect". Is there a way to work around this and play on my server on the local network?

Yes. If people are connecting to you from outside your local network (i.e. from the internet), they are using your public IP.

If you need to connect to your server on the local network, you need to use its LAN IP. It usually looks like this: 192.168.something.something

Wow, it's working. however, I last about 5 seconds because it lags so bad, then it runs out of memory even though i gave Tekkit SO MUCH. Do i possible have to restart my router for it to be playable?

edit: also i checked with task manager, my memory stays at a steady 30% during this whole event
