Change the server IP the player connects to when they press "join server"?
Reinforcements:
Hey,
I seem to be having trouble with my server. Is there a way to set what IP the player connects to when they try to join your server? You see, Blockland crashes on my Mac when I try to host. So I am trying a "virtual PC", aka, running windows on Mac. I've got the server to run, but the thing is, the windows virtual machine has a different IP that my mac. When i try to host a server from the virtual machine, and a player tries to join, the player's blockland tries to connect to the macs IP instead of the virtual PC's IP. Thus, not connecting. Is there a way I can change what IP players connect to when they select my server? That way I could set the IP to the windows virtual machine's IP, so it will stop trying to connect to the macs IP and correctly connect to the virtual PC's IP.

Port forward to the VM's IP, not your Mac's.

uhhh,
I am going directly to the modem, so I don't need to port forward the router. I probably don't get what you're saying. :/ EDIT: Maybe you could explain what you mean a little more?

Your virtual machine should have its own IP, apparently.
Port forward to that IP. Not your own.

Chrono already said that, and I said...
