is it from the same pc though, fc2 has issues with sharing ip between host and client or something like that

yes, it is the same pc. one of my friends is perfectly able of playing on the same server that he's hosting, that can't be the problem...

Not everyone can do this. it has to do with your ISP and or modem/router allowing a loopback so punkbuster enabled server wont kick you from your own server that is running on the same IP,

I too have never been able to play on my own server UNLESS im running the server through the game intself. Dedicated + me playing never works.

Technically anyone running a dedicated server should actually be DEDICATED meaning said server is running on its own network and not being used for any other reason then hosting said game server. So to properly run a dedicated you will need 2 separate modems with 2 separate ISP accounts and IPs, 1 for personal use (gaming web surfing and such) and 1 for dedicated game server ONLY.
