What do I do if Fabric Manager or Device Manager is using the wrong network interface?

The problem happens because the underlying Java library picks a local interface arbitrarily. To work around this, supply a command line argument before starting the Fabric/Device Manager. In the desktop shortcut or shell script or batch file, add the following parameter “-Device Managerds.nmsAddress=” For example, in Windows the line looks like “.javaw.exe -Device Managerds.nmsAddress=X.X.X.X -cp .”. In desktop shortcuts, this length could exceed the maximum characters allowed. If this happens, delete the “-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false” portion to make more space. Newer versions of Fabric Manager (Release 1.2 and later) allow you to pick a preferred network interface.
