I have bitcoin running on ubuntu, and I have port 8333 forwarded to that computer's NAT'd IP address. I understand it would be best for me to instruct my Mac OS X machine to connect through the ubuntu machine using "bitcoin -connect=IP ADDRESS" - how exactly do you do that on a Mac, since those instructions appear to be a windows command line switch.
Can I just point to /Applications/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin -connect? I tried that and it never got a connection.
Thanks
