Why MinimServer using different ipaddress for MinimServer UI and ohnet

But I checked the log and couldnt see any ohnet messages

Thanks for checking this. It eliminates my initial theory about what could be causing the problem.

When the server device has multiple IP addresses, the IP address in the URI is the IP address to which the browsing request was sent by the control point. This address is provided to MinimServer by ohNet. This should mean that the device running your control point is able to access the address 172.17.92.145, perhaps because it is configured with a subnet mask that allows this access. As the renderer is not able to stream the file, it seems that the renderer device is configured with a subnet mask that is stopping the renderer from accessing this IP address on the server.

If the above analysis is correct, there is no realistic way for the server to know that the renderer is misconfigured and cannot access the same IP address that the control point is able to access. The only solution is to correct the errors in the network configuration.
