If you do not specify a hostname for the server, it binds to INADDR_ANY, and is therefore reachable on all interfaces. If you specify the hostname, the listening socket is bound to this address. If the hostname given is not resolvable, server initialization will fail. > > We have a new test enviornment without a dhcp server and I am not able to > run equalizer on the wall because the clients cannot find my hostname.

You set the server's hostname to the IP address, which will be distributed to the auto-launched render clients. The application will still have to be started with '... -- --eq-server IP', since it can't get the server IP address from the config file like the render clients do.
