Does Roon Core have its own IP address [to that of device it’s running on]?

I know this sounds like a bit of a weird question, but at the moment my Roon core is offline while I take care of some storage & IT issues.

I then noticed an unidentified (& seemingly unidentifiable) device on my network.

Having gone through the process of checking every known connection, I’ve blocked the “interloper” although I can’t find a way of removing it from the list of devices.

But, as I’ve not fired up my Roon core for over a week, while I back up the music library on a different computer, it occurs to me that if this device represents the core & I’ve not been using it, then of course I won’t notice any difference to my network.

So, I’m wondering, would I expect to see the Roon core as a separate device on my network, even though it’s installed on my laptop or not?

Roon under ROCK or on the Nucleus has its own IP address. Otherwise, no.

No it doesn’t, the OS does and it works the same on the poster’s laptop. An IP gets configured on the OS on the laptop and any apps use that IP.

Yep, that’s technically true. I took the OP’s question to be asking about Core under Windows/Mac. The bit about ROCK/Nucleus was for contrast, since in both cases the only app that can run there is Core.

I was indeed asking whether or not my MacBook Pro & the Roon Core had separate IP addresses.

I’ve been having some very odd things happening on my LAN over the past few days & have been tearing my hair out trying to solve them. I was therefore clutching at straws with my question.

Yea, I get that. OP’s last sentence is clearly asking about IP addressing and the answer is the same regardless of OS/platform. That was my whole point.

What about the web interface? Isn’t that just a web server app running on RoonOS? And isn’t the IP assigned to RoonOS (the same one used by Roon Core) the way you access it?

I guess you’ve gotten off on this kick because I referenced Nucleus and ROCK rather than RoonOS. Is that really important enough to grind this thread into the ground?

Since it isn’t really addressing the OP’s basic question, I’m not sure what your point is.

Never mind, I do know what your point is. :wink:

Perhaps it was your bogus claim that Roon Core gets its own IP on certain platforms?
