Hi,

It does sound like it's binding to the wrong card.  However it should
be connecting to localhost as the hub has taken the xAP port.  Could
you have a look at a Floorplan heartbeat and see what port it is
reporting? it should bind to 'localhost' assuming it detects something
on the xAP port,  how many localhosts do you have? Just to test things
could you bind something to 3639 on your primary interface?  Assuming
that's the case and makes it work i'll do some playing and make a new
exe/ocx.

Floorplan is passive in it's receiving of messages so you wont see any
queries. Either an info or an event will make it appear.
