On the main ip of my server runs a webserver.
So I thought within the wiki article [https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Settings-for-advanced-use-and-troubleshooting](https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/wiki/Settings-for-advanced-use-and-troubleshooting) that it's possible to define another ip.

But PlexConnect.py still wants to bind to the main local ip (192.168.2.4)...
Any hints what's going wrong?

Could you please give more information on the version you are using?
ip\_webserver is kind of old - outdated, not used any more. You might still have it in your Settings.cfg file... but it's not used in current source code.
The other two settings are used, though. And I have no reports (other than yours) about them not working... Did you add them manually (then they are - wild guess - not supported) or were they added by PlexConnect and you just changed there value (then it should work...).
You might want to attach the complete Settings file, plus a log of a PlexConnect startup.

Thanks found my failure. There were 2 enable\_plexconnect\_autodetect entries and the last (wrong) one matched :-)
Additionally I changed ip\_webserver to ip\_plexconnect and it works now.
Seems that there are many wrong informations within the PlexConnect wiki.
Thanks

Don't call it "wrong" - call it "old".
Tell us where... and we are going to fix it.
