Remote Message Window catch wrong Network Interface - Interim solution

[benbar]

Hi David

New Remote Message Window catch wrong Network Interface an get false Network / IP-Adress.
The IP address I have to use is from the network 192.178.168.0 /24 (WiFi). 

The reason is the Virtual Network Interface "VirtualBox" from Oracle (www.virtualbox.org).
VirtualBox uses an IP address from the network 192.178.56.0 /24 on my PC.
See first Picture.

If multiple network interfaces are present and active in the PC, there is no option to select which interface the "New Remote Message Window" should use.
Currently, only disabling the virtual network interfaces helps.

Interim solution:
After disabling the "VirtualBox Host - Only Network" interface, the "New Remote Message Window" works as it should.
See 2-nd picture.

Ahh... good point. I forgot that there could be more than one network interface on the remote device.

I'll see what I can do for the next release.

I have added a network adapter selection box to Production Preferences > Messaging in MultiPlay and Settings in MsgWindow and it seems to work correctly.

What I'm not sure about is where the message patches, adapter selection, etc will live later on.

I'm torn between them being part of Preferences or Production Properties.
