That's interesting... the only way that point can be reached if the list of local IPs could not be determined. The list of IPs is retrieved in TNTools.cs, Tools.localAddresses. It's done by querying the hardware, getting the list of network interfaces, then iterating through them to find valid IPs. I need to know which part of that is failing on your machine, because I am running Windows 8.1 here and everything works as expected. It even has a fallback there where if it's not possible to determine the IPs using this method it reverts to the old way of doing it -- via DNS.
