Upcoming moOde 9.0.0 (Bookworm)

Maybe something to do with the .nmconnection files?

My test was invalid. I didn't notice I forgot to set the netmask for the static WiFi connection so the value remained the default 255.255.255.255.

Moved the uSD card to a Pi400 so I could work from the command line even if networking were borked. ifconfig reports

Code:

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
       inet 10.0.0.251  netmask 255.255.255.255  broadcast 0.0.0.0

Both the netmask and the broadcast address are incorrect for my network.

I set the WiFi netmask to 255.255.255.0 and rebooted. Now ifconfig reports

Code:

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
       inet 10.0.0.251  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.0.0.255

So fas so good. The player is again accessible from my network via the webUI. 

I have to leave town in a few hours. I'll leave this player running and check again when I get back at the end of the week.

PS - just to be clear, the static address I chose, 10.0.0.251, lies outside the range of IP addresses dynamically allocated by the DHCP server on my router. It is not, however, an assigned IP address, e.g., an address assigned by the DHCP server to a specific MAC address.

Interesting.  I'll try 255 x 4 instead of x3.  Thanks.

Oops, misread.  I tried it and got no open ports.

OK, my aging brain may have missed the pick list of netmasks.  I normally enter 255.255.255.0 but may have just accepted the default.  On a fresh install I chose my option from the pick list and everything worked.  When I worked in IT we called an outcome like this the result of magic or sun spots.  I'll shut up now.  

Naw. Cosmic rays!
