How does VBJ determine my machine's default IP? What is the default IP of the local machine? (localhost, default hostname)

Answer:

Build and run this simple java program to see what VBJ is seeing when it tries to determine your machine's IP address. If a value starting with 127 is returned then your machine's network is not configured properly and VBJ will not be able to access resources that are running on any other machine.
