[Live-devel] Live555ProxyServer on Gateway PC with two NICs

Yes.  The proxy server will use the network interface that’s used for IP multicast routing - i.e., the one that has a route for 224.0.0.0/4.  (The reason for this is that it uses IP multicast to detect its own IP address.)

To fix this, you should reconfigure your host so that it uses your public network interface for IP multicast routing.  You should be able to do this by running (as root):
	route add 224.0.0.0/4 your-public-ip-address
