The interface to bind to is determined by the "net_ip" cvar which defaults
to "localhost".

Perhaps contrary to what you'd think, specifying "localhost" does not bind
to the loopback interface (127.0.0.1), but uses INADDR_ANY when calling
bind() (which binds to all local interfaces).

You are still best off specifying a value for net_ip on the command line.
