Bug OSX networking Bug?

[TomCorbett]

with StarMade v0.199.132 I can't manage to connect to a LAN based server even if host and client are on the same computer - the connection just keeps timing out

We need logs in order to help.

I can't upload log files as they are larger than the forum file upload limit

I put mine in zip files first than upload them. If all else fails upload them to a file sharing site and post the link.

thanks for the tip - here is the log of the most recent attempt

that logfile shows a connect to systemhack something server ... with a 246ms ping .. that is hardly on a local network.

and are you sure your network connection is stable and free of interferences ? ... could be a problem when using Wlan.

If you read around the server name you quoted you'll notice it's part of the server listing which shows up in the Server browser - which I'm using as it's the only window that allows me to input a manual ip and port

then this is either the wrong logfile .. or it is logging something wrong

Hmmm -
SystemHack StarMade Server

checks out as a Starmade server (allbeit a scarily named one) and I just checked starmade .jar isn't trying to connect to this server on its own - I may have clicked on a random server to check the computer wasn't having network issues but that log is from a few days ago and I've been trying various solutions since so exactly what I did after the LAN connection failed is a bit fuzzy.

as long as you are able to connect to a multiplayer server you should be able to connect to a server on the localk network too.

a few things that come to mind.
make sure the server is running .. and not crashing already shortly after startup.
the hosting computer isnt blocking incoming trafic through firewall settings ?
the hosting computer inst using DHCP, and gotten assigned a new IP adress from the router?
did you made any changes to the server.cfg? maybe enabled whitelist or requiring authetication with starmade dock ?
