I assume that your reader and your content server are on the same (home) network. If not, then you must do a lot of work to make your content server visible over the internet. See this post for some details.

Do you have a DNS/WINS/something server on your home network that knows how to translate 'myhostname' into an IP address? My guess is no, and I also guess that aldiko can't handle netbios names. Try using your server's IP address, probably something like 192.168.x.y where x and y depend on your setup.

I don't know if aldiko is automatically recognized by calibre as an OPDS reader. If not, then you need to use links of the form http://192.168.x.y:8080/opds.
