Can't connect to any servers

[akina]

I have tried connecting to two different servers. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a mac or what. Any suggestions or help? Also can anyone help me create a server? The start up screen appears to be different for PC which allows them to create a new server. Please and thank you!

The name of the error you get could help.

Even though your only connecting, I would port forward anyway.

Also for hosting, the server is located inside the starbound package.

I did it earlier. The path is a bit awful but once you locate it you can create an Alias. Go to <username>/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Starbound. Then right click on the Starbound app and click Show Package Contents. From there, click Contents, then MacOS, and the file starbound_server is in there.

Also for hosting watch this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXCYpADxyGE

When I click join server it freezes for a bit and then says "Join failed! Error connecting to (ip address)"

I watched the beginning part of the video and it says that I have to get port forward which requires my router number and all that. However, I am actually using my school's internet (I live in the dorms) and I use the ethernet cord which allows me to be on steam. When I use my school wifi alone, it doesn't allow me to connect to steam because it blocks one of the ports. With the ethernet cord it doesn't block any of the ports. So I guess it's not an option for me to create any servers. I'll just try to connect to other people's servers but I'm not sure why it's not letting me.

That Vid was mostly for hosting.

For connecting to others:
There are a couple things you can try assuming it's not the IP/server that is at fault.

-Try setting Upnp to False in starbound.config
-Make sure Starbound is allowed through the computer firewall.
-Manually add 21025 Tcp to be allowed through your computer firewall.
-Some have said their Anti-virus interfered, temporarily disable that to check.

Also just to check it is you and not the IP's you are using, Try some from here http://starbound-servers.net/

I just checked play.valkaricraft.com, boundstar.com and 173.199.80.71:21025 [pass=ozcraft].
I was able to connect to them.

I can't find starbound.config and I am having the same problem.
