I think I solved it. calibre was at the new static PC address 192.168.0.33
but in CC, I had previously manually input the old reserved DHCP address of 192.168.0.3, so I think CC was suggesting that as an option even though it was no longer valid.
once I edited that saved value it stopped offering that option.
I've no idea how CC invented the two different descriptions but that's not important. It is all good now.
FYI: I switched to static IP because my Virginmedia Super Hub router is sometimes very slow at allocating DHCP, as PC restarts or comes out of sleep. Even with a reserved address matching the PCs MAC in the router tables, it still thinks for a while sometimes. so having my tablets & this PC on static addresses seems to work better; & apps like CC, spotimote, ES explorer will always know where to find the PC
