Actually, after my first cup of coffee for the day I do have a thought.
Recall I mentioned setting correct interface values including network mask?
The default network mask value offered by the moOdeUI is 255.255.255.255
This value is incorrect for almost any networking environment. It renders the player unreachable via IP even though it is properly connected to the router.
For my home network the correct network mask is 255.255.255.0 but YMMV. For example, it would have been wrong in the lab I used to work in.
As a test, just now I configured two players with static WiFi addresses and correct network mask and one with static WiFi address and the default network mask. My router confirms that all three are connected, but only the first two are reachable from other hosts on the LAN.
