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!
