This happens to me, except they aren't dedicated. I know what you mean, you're hosting a server on a computer, then trying to join it from the same household. If you try to do this, it'll appear dead on the server list.

You'll have to connect to your server via IP. I don't know why, but that's the only way that works.

Query LAN will only show servers that are using the default port. 

Running a dedicated server and a client on the same computer will be problematic unless you have a dual core machine and set the processor affinity of the dedicated server to core 1.

[Jervan]

set the processor affinity of the dedicated server to core 1.

How do you do that?

[Jaydee]

I was about to ask that question too...

[Badspot]

Start the dedicated server
Bring up the task manager (ctrl+alt+del->Task manager)
Click the "Processes" tab
Right click Blockland.exe and click "Set Affinity..."
Set it so only CPU 1 is checked

Note that this has to be set every time you run the program.
V9 does this automatically.
