Configuring the application to use dual network cards

Issues with Client-to-Server connectivity can be due to different reasons. Some examples are:

The computer running the Server has more than one network interface card (NIC) installed.

The computer running the Server is behind a firewall that performs network address translation.

To make sure that Clients can connect to the Server, you may need to edit the IP configuration setting in the Options dialog to manually specify the IP address that the Server should use to communicate to its Clients.

NOTE

If your Operating System is IPv4-enabled or IPv6-enabled (dual mode), the server binds using IPv4 address by default.

NOTE

IPv6 only mode does not support server to client communication (the IPv6 address cannot be bound to the server).

To configure the IP address to override the default RMI server host IP address, complete the following steps.

NOTE

This configuration option replaces the -Djava.rmi.server.hostname value used in previous releases.
