Your suspicion was spot-on; it turned out that I had my router-as-switch
configured incorrectly: 

-- the DHCP server *was* enabled, so I disabled it;

-- in line with "Step 3" on this Web page's instructions for configuring
routers to act as Ethernet switches
(https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basics/lanwan-basics/30740-how-to-use-a-router-to-add-network-ports),
I also changed its LAN IP from its default to a different address;

-- lastly, I moved the LMS PC-to-powerline adapter Ethernet cable from
the router-as-switch's WAN jack to one of its LAN jacks.

My bedroom SBT found the LMS PC with no problem; both SBTs will now
simultaneously play different recordings from the PC's hard drive and
Web streams--fantastic!

I can now proceed to investigating Spotify (via Spotty) and TIDAL, etc.
Thanks to all your info and suggestions--I really appreciate it. What an
effective product the SBT/LMS system is; thanks to all you forum
participants for keeping it alive and viable.

One unrelated question: my audio PC just prompted me, saying that an
update of LMS is available. I haven't today looked at the LMS forum to
see if there's a version after my installed 7.9.1; is there? If so, do
you recommend that I install it? I don't want to have an unstable
version, and I definitely don't want to downgrade...

Thanks again; best wishes for 2018,
Jerome
