last night as discussed I shutdown pcp via gui and then issued a ping to
pcp from pc where I got Request timout as expected.

I did *not* unplug the pcp from mains...and this morning out of
curiosity I isuued another ping 


Code:
--------------------
    C:\Users\nikos>ping 192.168.0.10

x.110 is my pc and host unreachable would be perfectly normal as long as
this was 100% consistent...without the intermittent Request timouts.
after all this ping was issued 13 hours later than the first one.

A new Advanced Ip Scanner run shows two deads:

192.168.0.10    Raspberry Pi Foundation B8:27:EB:4E:51:A2

*and*

192.168.0.231  Raspberry Pi Foundation  B8:27:EB:4E:51:A2


All these days with the pcp online, an Advanced Ip Scanner run would
never show the x.231 and would only show the x.10 as
alive-and-kicking...

??????

Background info:

My first attempt at setting up pcp was interrupted since after the image
being burnt to the sd I could not get an ip address through dhcp (was to
be expected since the router at the office has a dodgy semi-working dhpc
implementation and I had not hdmi cable at hand to use console.


So when I got home that night I connected the pcp to my monitor..run
setup..issued the x.10 static address verified that wifi was off..and
the rest is history.


Could there be a x.231 address left behind "somewhere" in the pcp config
files from when the pcp tried to get a first ip during it's very first
dhcp attempt? If so where would such address be stuck?


Also upon some digging in pcp files I paste below a message which may or
may not be of use:


Code:
--------------------
    tc@piCorePlayer:/var/log$ cat pcp_boot.logStarting piCorePlayer setup...
  Loading pcp-functions...and pCP configuration file.sh: 3: unknown operand
  Done.
--------------------




Any advice is highly appreciated.

I could always wipe the sd and burn pcp from scratch but I think it's
much better to understand what is going on before I evaporize the body.
