title: Starting Selenium GRID on Amazon EC2 instance - node register to http://172.17.42.1:4444/grid/register/
body: <p>I'm trying to launch the Selemium Grid on an EC2 instance but when I start up the grid I'm getting the following warning in the logs saying the nodes should register to <a href="http://172.17.42.1:4444/grid/register/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://172.17.42.1:4444/grid/register/</a> </p>
  
  <p>The hub isn't running on the ip address 172.17.42.1 so I'm not sure whats going on. Where is the hub getting this ip from?</p>
