Admin interface picks up wrong IP address

[mglukhovsky]

Sam, thanks for pointing this out.

We should improve the heuristic used to pick the IP address, or at least indicate which adapter we're picking from the server in question. It certainly doesn't have any practical consequences, but I'll see what we can do to improve this in the admin interface.

It should probably do what is described in my feature request here: #28, both for the server and admin interface (perhaps separately configurable).

Temporarily moving to backlog -- there are some more pressing issues to work out first.

Now that #28 is done, we can actually address this. The easiest way for this to work is probably for the server to report which addresses it's actually listening on, and have the client report those. I'm not sure if this can make it into 1.5, I'll see what the good dev people have to say about it and report back.

Closing. #28 has been addressed so I don't think there's actually any remaining issue here. Unless I misunderstand the scope of the issue?

(also @Tryneus has rewritten much of the IP address handling I believe)
