naturally i want to keep things simple; i.e., neither 4g router nor pi
as a router.
consider this:
i boot the pi without wifi, only eth0 (without gateway), and using
desktop browser over lan, all works as expected.
so browser is really a functional equivalent to squeezelite running on
pi.
why is squeezelite having trouble to connecting to a localhost server?

i tried this.  kill squeezelite.  verify LMS is listening on 127.0.0.1.
started squeezelite with specific arg -s 127.0.0.1.
still it can't connect!

i believe i mentioned this before.
i can add a "dummy" router to the lan, assign it as the gateway. then
squeezelite works!
BUT when the hotspot comes around, it won't work; i.e., no internet
access.
it seems to be an either/or situation.
and clearly a networking issue within raspian.

i've posed a similar question on the raspian forum and hopefully
some network gurus can help...
