Can't find/connect to my server locally

Screenshot

I try to connect to my server through the console since it doesn't appear in the server list, and this happens. I forwarded it. I can't use 192.168.1.1 because my Spectrum router won't let me forward that.

192.168.* addresses are a class C subnet or LAN addresses in your internal network.  Typically you should have access to addresses in your internal network, provided your client and your server are on the same network.  That said, your router may require you allow your server machine to communicate over the ports specified in your server application's launch arguments.

You may also need to specify the port when connecting.

So.... don't use 192.168.* addresses? Should I use my public IP address that you get from googling "what is my ip?"

If you are connecting to the server on the same machine, you'd use 127.0.0.1 or localhost, not your LAN or external IP. For those outside of your network, they'd use the server list or your external IP.

Ok, I see. But it still doesn't show up in the server list. I've used the same IP before and it does.

You won't see it on the server list if you're on the same network as the server.
