Thanks...my manual entry for the new IP in /etc/hosts is what clued me
to the cause. I've now added "# testip" and removed the entry from
/etc/hosts.
I'm embarrassed...I should have known better! <grin>
Later!

Check also the /etc/hosts if you're using it it could be the problem for
the old ip...

Hobbit uses a DNS lookup to determine the IP address, unless you flag the host with "testip". Your DNS records are probably still pointing at the old IP.
