Greg, I logged into the router/modem (192.168.1.254) to check exactly that. Old IP was 192.168.1.88 -- there was an OFFLINE ETHERNET entry for piCorePlayer for that IP, but no online entry for it (I have 4 devices that plug into the router of which the rPi I use is one). But even after two pulled plug restarts it never reappeared in the device list on the router/modem. I did confirm that the ethernet cable was plugged in snuggly :-)
I'm already up and running again and the LMS is scanning my music library. And yes, it is LMS v8. Thanks for your help.
