#### Can't connect to game server. Solution!

I have several computers at home. One a PC one a MAC. Never had problems connecting to the game from the PC but the MAC just wouldn't connect.
What worked to solve this issue is kind of obscure but I thought I'd post it here.
My home router is set up to DHCP. That is, give IP addresses to my computers automatically. Most home routers are set up this way. When your router is set up this way it gives a DNS address to the computer of the router which then forwards the request along to your ISP. For some reason this did not work properly on the MAC. I had to assign the DNS of my ISP (Comcast) manually.
Have not had an issue since.
