Question / Help Cannot connect to server [for twitch]

I have already gone through the tutorials and help files online I can find regarding how to fix the "failed connect to server" timeout. For example I have tried all settings under settings>>advanced>>Bind to IP; I have tried disabling Windows Firewall; I have tried both my closest geographic server and the auto-server option; and probably more I'm forgetting.

Interesting to note, I also did two quick things to rule out possibilities. First, I tried streaming with Twitch Studio which also failed on this computer. Second, I tried streaming using OBS from a Mac I have, and that was able to stream with default setting on the Mac no problem. So it doesn't seem to be router setting-related.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I think I might have some idea of what's going on. The computer I'm trying to stream on is connected via ethernet but I'm thinking the ethernet connection was never "properly" set up or something in Windows network and sharing, if this is possible. The Wifi connection to my Mac works fine when streaming. Does this indicate anything to anyone?

I'm having problems connectding. When I try to connec to Twitch, OBS fails to connect (via a MacBook Pro). I've used all of the selections under "Bind to IP". What can I do??
