Locked WiThrottle minor issue going from 4.4 to 4.12


 

Ours was displaying 2 addresses, but only one worked.
I disabled the Wi-Fi connection, leaving only the LAN connection to the wireless router.
Now, it works.
?


 

4.4 is 2 years old, lot of things have changed.

R,
WiThrottle Server has always listened on all addresses on the machine. Previously, it only displayed one of them on the window, now it displays all of them. It is only a display change, the underlying broadcast and listeners are the same.

Digging deeper into this I looked at the JMRI context and found this:

Network Interface: eth4
?Long Name: VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter
?Host Name: rwm-PC
?IP address: 192.168.56.1

It looks like JMRI is attempting to bind to the virtual NIC associated with VirtualBox?? ( I run VMs when testing and evaluating malware as part of my work for my employer).

It never did this before.


 

I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.12.? The system is Windows 7 Professional with Java 1.8_171 installed.?? On the WiThrottle panel is now says it is listening on two separate IP/Port combos when in 4.4 it was only one.????? The additional item in 4.12 is?? 192.168.56.1:5555, that never displayed in 4.4.?? The correct entry is 192.168.11.165:5555 which was the one that displayed in 4.4.

Where did the 192.168.56.1:5555 come from??? Does it matter??? I looked through all the preference settings and don't see a location to remove it.
