I can get to it (open it) from any computer on my home network (wired or wireless).

I've got my iPhone4 setup on my wireless network.

When I open MegaReader and go to Download books MegaReader finds the WiFi Book Calibre library. It is using the computer name rather than the IP address.

If I click on that it never connects. If I add it manually using the IP address above it never connects.

So MegaReader can find it. Other computers can open it. It is just that MegaReader cannot open it.
Explain more please....
So when you tap "Import" -> "Download Books" you do see the "WiFi Book Catalogs" with your calibre library listed? (and your local machine address showing as you say). If that is so then I would think it is connecting.

What happens when you tap on the calibre catalog?

(as info.. mine also automatically connects using the computer local name and not the ip address. That's ok. Mine connects every time. (assuming calibre server is running)
