AxTraxNG server service use .NET network structure, AxTraxNG cannot determent which network adapter to use and a network adapter will automatically be assigned to the highest priority adapter on the machine in case of more than 1 network adapters available on the machine.   

To avoid the automatic assignment of network adapter to AxTraxNG server we need to set the priority (Interface metric) of each adapter on the machine. doing such should not have any effect on the daily operation of the machine. 

please follow those steps to set Networks adapters priorities: 
  1. From PC control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center select Change adapter setting: 
  2. From the available adapter list right click the adapter to set in high priority (the adapter AxTraxNG should use) and select Properties: 
  3. From the Items List select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties:
  4. Under General tab Click Advanced:  
  5. Under IP Setting tab remove the Check Mark form the Automatic metric and set the Interface metric to “1”:
  6. Repeat the same process for each adapter on the Machine and increase the Interface metric by 5 for each Adapter, the 2nd set to “6” the 3rd Set to “11” and so on. 
  7. Go to services and restart "AxTraxNG" server https://support.rosslaresecurity.com/portal/en/kb/articles/how-to-start-the-axtraxng-server-service
