The web server works on all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Same for the WiThrottle even though it shows only one address in its window.

Hello all,
In a multiple IP address environment, where the computer has multiple
connections and multiple IP addresses, I would like to know when one
launches the JMRI Web Server and/or the WIThrottle server, how does it know
which IP address to choose, is it random, first found, smaller number? etc.
The house I am in there is one main router for all computers. We also run a
wifi tablet to run a tower panel for one turnout and a couple of train
order boards and one signal. The wifi in the train room is very feeble. I
installed a second router in the train room with its own wifi, and this one
is used mostly for wifi throttles, and this one tablet.
The issue is that in order to make it work, I have to disable the ethernet
connection, have the wifi up to the train room router, launch JMRI, start
the web server and withrottle server, then enable the ethernet.
At this point all is well but one thing. We also share the roster from one
computer, so it could be accessed from others around the layout. But JMRI
having started with that share off (being the ethernet connection
disabled), cannot see the share, even after reenabling the ethernet
connection and refreshing explorer to see the share contents.
Catch 22.
In the Preferences, for both servers, there are entries to select the port
to be used. Would it be possible to add which IP to use? (as a new feature)
Thank you
Leo P
