Address on first is 198.168.0.13

Don't sweat this, not critical, just curious.

I just looked up the IP address 198.105.254.23 in ipaddress.com

They report "We found that the organization for IP address 198.105.254.23 is Search Guide in Boulder, Colorado, United States."

I believe there's something going on with DNS in your LAN, possibly in the router. DNS is returning this IP address for your hostnames. It's tripping up Tim's players routine which depends on the results reported by getent (which gets its info from databases supported by the Network Switch Libraries inside raspbian; They draw on DNS).

What happens if you ssh into your first moOde player and try to ping the second (by "moode-3" or whatever is its hostname, not by IP)? Does it report an IP address on your LAN or this 198.105.254.23 address instead? Same question for the first from the second.
