It looks like it only will work for PC... And sorry, but what is the VPN settings? (Sorry for my lack of mac knowledge. Again, I'm new to mac.) --- End quote --- Go and find your physical router... In your house... Find out what make and model number it is... If it is an Airport router, you can follow this guide, if it is other (and airport) you can use www.portforward.com Although done on a Windows computer (not a fecking PC - PC = Personal Computer not Windows computer), the process is almost identical on a mac... You chose your favourite web browser and type in the IP of your router. Tell me what model and make your router is. VPN - Generally is a Virtual Private Network. Programmes like hamachi are these, they pretend a cpnnection over WAN is a LAN connection(very roughly explained), I dont see why you would need to use this in this instance. |

I believe I use a Motorola SBG900. I'm guessing that's not an Airport router... |

I installed blockland on my old Windows laptop, and I think I may have a working server. I can connect to the game running on my Windows with my Mac. However, would this just be a LAN game? I set the server to run on "internet". |
