Local Data Address Does not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces

Question

I cannot get through this exception while running
sessionManager.initSession(
localAddress,
new SourceDescription[] {  },
0.05,
0.25);
I get this debug output:
Initalizing session (localAddress)
DataAddress: 10.8.0.6/10.8.0.6
ControlAddress: 10.8.0.6/10.8.0.6
DataPort: 2838
ControlPort: 2839
10.8.0.6 is on my tun0 interface, I also tried with 192.168.1.100 which is on my eth2 interface but always get the message in the subject. The only address I can init session on is loopback address.
I use code that looks at local interfaces and grabs ip address from one of them so I'm sure the assigned address belongs to one of my interfaces.
Anybody knows how I can solve this problem?

Answer 1

I solved this one. The problem is JMF seems to use InetAddress.getAllByName() which returns (at least in my case) only single IP address no matter how many addresses I have defined on my interfaces. The problem was solved by placing my IP address that I wanted to use by session manager into /etc/hosts. It must be the first line in /etc/hosts otherwise the other row that matches is used.
