I have a macbook pro running snow leopard and I am unable to connect to any online servers. I keep getting a cant reach server message. My singleplayer works fine and I have tried reinstalling it. I am also on my university's wifi. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

Do you see motd's before connecting, and are you playing online?

Im sorry but I have no idea what motds are and I am currently unable to play online

How do you expect to connect to a server if you can't play online? Server=Online

I've played online before on my pc but I just got a Mac and it won't let me connect to the servers

motd stands for message of the day. It is the line of text you see before connecting to the server.
You say your not playing online.
When you log into your client, does the button say play offline?
