[hobbit] Using bbproxy to replicate the display

[Whilding, Craig]

Finally solved it - BBSERVERID was being used by another variable that
was performing network tests and listening on the external port.
Changing it to 127.0.01 lets me see the status board locally and have
the bbproxy working properly.

Thanks for the help.

In my setup I have --listen=127.0.0.1 on the hobbitd section and 
--listen=172.17.100.10 --bbdisplay=127.0.0.1,172.17.100.20 on the 
bbproxy section.

My central server is on 172.17.100.20

Try to look at netstat -ln and see where you have the port 1984
listening.
