So I am trying to publish my world to a LAN and whenever I do Minecraft uses my "Local Area Connection 2" which is not connected to anything. As a result it publishes the world to IP 169.x.x.x. I am assuming that I can choose what Adapter it connects to somewhere, or at least change how it chooses what Adapter to publish to.
Interestingly enough, I have been working on some code myself for a program of mine to correctly choose what adapter has a valid IP and is connected to a network. It is no picnic by any means. If Minecraft cannot correctly choose an adapter however, I imagine they would let you specify it somewhere.
