Description

Issue description

I am not able to set the "host" for a processing network server.

I have a lap top computer and ipconfig returns several NICs some of which I think were created after I recently installed WireShark.

When I run
myServer = new Server(this, myPORT);
The server is set up on a port number 169.254.11.110 which is not a real NIC.
The DOS command ipconfig shows that "Ethernet 2" is the adapter which has this IP address.

When I try to add the "host" paramter to the server I get error.
myServer = new Server(this, myPORT, "Wi-Fi");
I get the an unknown host exception: Wi-Fi.
What is the syntax I am to use for the "host" ?
