itimpi, I regret that I don't understand. Do you mean in some manner other than that which I described above? The test button on the config screen opened a browser to the server, IIRC.

I'm also unclear on what you mean by the iphone end being set correctly. Stanza handles that on its own, and both of us have iphones with Stanza, and neither of them showed the server.

Incidentally, I should add that Stanza Desktop worked fine to serve books from the same MacOS X box to both of our iphones, so it can not be the case that my friend's network is incapable of dealing with a stanza server, or that it doesn't route between devices. The problem has to be something to do with Calibre or our installation thereof in some way.
