So been struggling for the last few hours trying to play with my gf. we have computers in the same room. So i eventually got the port forwarding situated and started the tekkit server and had her join. She got in fine no lag and enjoyed playing. i joined and I was getting some kind of lag. not fps lag cause my fps was at 63. I felt like i was stuttering. I have a great comp. 8 g of ram a quad I5 and a gtx 660ti. I would love to play and it seems like hosting the server on my computer is cause the problem. If anyone has a fix please help.
i tried lan but my gf couldnt connect. i havent had problems before. i was however not playing tekkit. But i have had multiple people in a server and I have a nice rig so i see why there would be any problems

You don't need port forwarding if you are connected to the same network.
You should connect to your own server using localhost, using the IP will lag very bad. Other players should use your INTERNAL IP, not external.
Are you running a standard multiplayer server and your client on the same PC? That's a very bad idea. It seriously taxes your system, mostly the CPU an RAM.
I have a comp that should be able to handle that. and i port forwarded cuz i planbned on having a buddy join soon. Any thing i could do to remedy this?

Like i said, you use localhost, and other players (on the same network) use the internal IP.
Dunno. Those symptoms look very much like your PC is getting a CPU and/or RAM bottleneck, due to basically running two copies of Minecraft at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised is the server log has overload errors.
Nah
I once connected to my own server through the external IP, it lagged horribly. While the other player had no lag. Used localhost instead and problem solved.

Most computers can handle that fine.
