Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm)

On my Pi 4 when I set a static IP all ports get closed.  With DHCP it works fine.  I haven't tried doing it from the command line.

What do you mean by "all ports get closed"?

There are no open ports from 0 to 65K.  I can't connect via HTTP or SSH.  It's visible on the network but unreachable.  When I allow random address assignment the standard ports are open.  I'm leaving shortly but will be back this afternoon Pacific.  I've set local display on and will try a static IP again to see what I can see.

When a static IP address is set on a client there needs to be a configuration somewhere (/etc/hosts) in the Router to associate the IP address with a host name otherwise accessing by host won't work.

I tested static ip configs on both Ethernet and WiFi on my network and no issues with ssh pi@IP_ADDRESS or http://IP_ADDRESS

Hmm...  I've always set a static IP address for Moode setups using the networking config screen.  This is the first time I've ever had a problem doing it that way.  I've done it from the router and from Moode in the past. I just double checked the router to make sure I hadn't reserved the address.
