I see this on my datanode

No programs can connect to that port) so this bound port becomes useless as no one will be able to talk to it. Is there any way 1. To fix it to an address? 2. To make sure it binds to 0.0.0.0 instead (I am not sure I can bind to the ip, as the ip is that of the host OS-windows and not of linux which is a virtual ip though I like in /etc/hosts so it seems to work).
