Master Primary IP address incorrect - it uses the one from VMWare

[Ruud van Zundert]

Hi. I have just installed v1.4 of Input Director on my Windown 10 prof server and saw: Primary IP Address 192.168.121.1.

ipconfig /all shows (some p[ortions shown):

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

and so I was expecting it to use 192.168.1.19.

The VMWare workstation 14 entry shows:

Hi,

Try this:

1. Open Input Director and switch to the "Global Preferences" tab

2. Click the "Change" button under "Preferred Network Interface"

3. Select the appropriate network interface from the popup window.

Do this on both master computer and slave computers.

Regs,

Shane.
