Yes.  Very.  Painful.

"private NIC"  Uh oh.

There are some security checks around the IP address.  See WOHostUtilities in 
Wonder for what is probably the fix for your problem:

 * <p>This class replaces the WebObjects version to support loading a new IP as 
a local IP to the local hosts list.
 * This will authorize that IP to send management requests, like stopping the 
application, or
 * turning on the refuse new instance setting. This is necessary if WO does not 
automatically
 * add the needed IP to the local host list. It happens when you use private 
IPs and
 * is recognized as a problem on multi-homed linux servers.</p>

That usually indicates a permissions problem (?) or a corrupt file.  Wonder's 
version should back it up.

Private IP address is my guess for today.
