Content Server grabs wrong IP address
I started the Content Server, and on the same machine I can browse to it just fine. But I can't get to it from any other machine on my network. Originally thinking it was a localhost firewall issue, I first looked there but didn't solve the problem.

Now I'm looking at the Content Server Error and Access logs and have discovered the "ENGINE Serving on 169.254.1.110:8080" which is NOT my local IP address!!!

After reviewing the results of an "ipconfig /all", I can see that my local address is 192.168.0.2, but I also have a VirtualBox Host-Only Network of 169.254.1.110 - even though VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) is not currently running.

How do I force the Content Server to choose a different IP address???

Thanks!

Perfect!!! Thanks!

Plugging in the appropriate address into "What interfaces should the content server listen on" solves the problem.

Needs improvement though... it takes the IP address, not a range or NIC. If you use DHCP, that changes.

A Server and DHCP?

Access to 'Server' usually has a FIXED IP (or reserved on the DHCP server).

IIRC It is only on the Local machine, where 0.0.0.0 make no never-mind.

I am guessing assignment by NIC ID is really difficult across 3 OS

Ah, you're thinking too far inside the wrong box!

My new Galaxy Tab Pro lacks USB Mass Storage mode. My Mac runs OSX, which lacks native MTP mode. Calibre does also support MTP mode... but not on OSX. To sync easily, therefore, I'm doing a wireless Calibre Sync via the Device Connection, which seems to require the Content Server.

Syncing via wireless Device connection requires an app like Calibre Companion or Calibre Sync, neither require the content server. The content server can be used to get books wirelessly to your device via any OPDS compliant app.
