not sure if this i because I'd changed the calibre PC's IP address from a reserved DHCP to a (different value ) static, or if it is because of some new feature in the latest full CC ( Kindle version) release ?
whoops - just noticed I've put this in the wrong thread, maybe some kind person with the power to do so will move it out of wish list

Why is this in the wrong thread? I can move it, but I don't know where to move it to.
EDIT: someone had already moved it. Thanks!
The "books with calibre" IP address comes from mDNS, what Apple calls bonjour. The other comes from calibre's wireless driver. My guess is that one of two things happened:
- Did you restart calibre after you changed the IP address? If not then it's mDNS implementation would still be sending the old address.
- Some other computer on the network remembered the old address. This can happen because mDNS is tied into uPNP (universal Plug N Play), and what exactly that does is a mystery.
The nDNS entry will disappear after a time (perhaps an hour). I suspect that the problem has gone away.
