I get disconnected when I join my own server

    I've set up a server on Windows 7, but when I try connecting, the server instantly disconnects me. The server window says "Player is not authenticated Eplemosen". (full log) I've tried adding this line ...
    Code:
    global sv_require_auth = 0;
    ... to the dedicated_autoconfig.gm, but it doesn't seem to make any change at all.

    Also, why arent sv_require_auth and sv_allow_global_mods in the config file when you install the game? Are they not supposed to be there?

    Thanks in advance, I hope anyone can help me.

    Copying from the Dev Blog (my emphasis):

    Due to some security issues, localhosting wont work,and those on shared IPs wont be able to play at the same time. This really bugs us and we’ll be fixing it ASAP, but it’s better than the alternative (a nice big security hole).We’re keen to see what exploits work (so we can sort out something to deal with them) and what ones dont (so we can laugh at the people who tried them) so we’ll be watching the forums keenly.

    Ah ... I actually read that earlier, but didn't know exactly what it meant. I hope it'll be fixed before zombie multiplayer is fixed, so I can play zombie fortress privately with my friends.

    I think this is my issue too; I'm on the same IP as the server.
