Issue Title: 147734 osx_steam Local server visible but not allowed to connect - long cable suggested

Issue Description: Two Macs on the same LAN, one is host the other joined fine as of last night (i.e. prior to update!) but since the update the "Server only allows local connections." message appears when trying to connect to an existing or new host instance.

Taking the suggestion literally, turned off networking and joined via thunderbolt assigned IP addresses in the same subnet - GREAT command line ping

From 169.254.0.1

...

PING 169.254.0.2 (169.254.0.2): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 169.254.0.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.300 ms

64 bytes from 169.254.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.405 ms

64 bytes from 169.254.0.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.358 ms

Also tried new world, same results - "Server only allows local connections."

Can't get more local than hooked together.

Steps to Reproduce: Update to 147734 osx_steam on two Macs

Host a local game on one, attempt connection with the other.
