Brutal Doom Local Multiplayer Not Connecting. Please Help

Hey guys I've been trying to go local on brutal doom v21 and can't seem to join the server. I succeeded in creating a server using doomseeker and can join the server yet when my other computer tries to connect it fails to do so and instead "connecting to *ip address*" keeps popping up endlessly on the command console. 

I have also tried to do a more manual approach using ZDL but I still have the same problem.

Can anyone help?

I would very much appreciate it! :D

I forgot to mention that logging in to other servers works. Just local servers are the issue

Kind to me also happens to me with the server that believes in batman doom co-op

can't say I have a good solution, but I remember having this same problem years ago too. I think I was able to sometimes fix it by using "connect localhost" instead of using the ip

If both computers are on the same network then Tango's solution should work but if you're still having trouble feel free to ask.
