ADTPro v2.0.2 Ethernet "binding" to Local Host ( 127.0.0.1 ) instead of the Ethernet's IP Address about adtpro HOT 4 OPEN

ADTPro isn't super concerned about which address it binds to - the kernel actually chooses that, given the architectural combination of UDP sockets and Java:

It's possible to make a similar call that includes the bind IP address, but it adds not-insignificant complexity specifically for "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS," so you might want to help look into why it's different than (every) other *nix implementation.

Since upgrading from Mojave to Catalina I'm seeing the same issue with both 2.0.2 and 2.0.3.

Sorry I didn't Follow Up, when I found a "work around" to this issue...

rpallred:

I found that the HOSTS File on my Linux, ( /etc/hosts ) was what the ADTPro was using for its information. I wanted to make my Internal Network easy to navigate, so I setup Static IP Addresses for my main machines...

( Some Routers, like my TP-Link, let you leave your devices on DHCP and in the Router, "assign" a constant IP address by Mac Address, basically giving your Device a Static IP Address when connected to your router )

Then I added the Static IP Address and Machine name to the /etc/hosts file. When launching ADTPro, it would BIND to the Machine Name IP Address

If the Static Address in the Hosts File is Wrong, then ADTPro will BIND to that IP Address in the HOSTS File, and not your actually assigned IP Address..

My Machine is MAGOR and it's Static IP Address is: 192.168.254.155
My HOSTS File is:
administrator@Magor:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.254.155 Magor

=============================================================

Something for you to try, ( I'm using OSX 10.11.6 "El Capitan" ) :
Use 'ipconfig getpacket en0' from the command line, to locate your assigned IP Address assigned to the Ethernet Port.
Edit the HOSTS File and add that IP Address and Machine Name, and then save the HOSTS File.
Launch ADTPro, and see if it BINDS to the correct IP Address..

That actually seems to have fixed it--even though I didn't have a static IP for my Mac previously. Thanks!
