Thanks to all of you for trying to help with this. Restarting the LMS doesn't change the issue, so I don't think it's caused by IP-assignment timing. I have my router manually assigning 192.168.1.152 to COLDBREW (based on its MAC address) so that never changes. That IP actually hasn't changed in years, and I have other software - e.g. a Plex server that requires the COLDBREW IP to stay consistent for port-forwarding reasons - and that all seems to work ok. >>Do you have multiple NIC's on your computer? There's also wireless card that I never use. >>What happens if you ping "COLDBREW" This: ========= Pinging coldbrew [fe80::8df6:2969:45f4:3946%12] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from fe80::8df6:2969:45f4:3946%12: time<1ms etc. ========= I understand that COLDBREW gets assigned its IP from the router, but I confess ignorance about the role of the network name (terminology correct?) COLDBREW or how this name gets used in this environment. Come to think of it, I don't know for sure why my browser shortcut even uses "COLDBREW:9000" to get to LMS instead of "localhost:9000" or "192.168.1.152:9000" all of which seem to work fine. Maybe it was from years ago when I had different LMS servers on different machines. I now have only the one, so I guess I should just update my shortcut with one of the various *working* options I have now discovered, and call it a day.. I guess I don't like not knowing stuff, and there's just so darn much stuff available to not-know... Thanks again.
