My apologies fo the slow reply. For some reason I was expecting an email notification that I'd gotten a reply. Now I know.

/sbin/ifconfig shows only a single IP, with multicast enabled. There are about 6 other network devices, but none of them have an IPv4 address. I tried enabling IPv6 on my home network recently, but I think that was mainly a base station change.
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULT ICAST> mtu 1500
ether f8:1e:df:db:9c:33
inet6 fe80::fa1e:dfff:fedb:9c33%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet 172.16.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
media: autoselect
status: active
I made sure the firewall was off. I checked netstat for any other apps set to the same port number, but didn't find any.
Changing the port to 9004, 9091 and 12345 didn't seem to make a difference.

I assume that means I'll need to specify the computer's IP address in the Calibre Companion app. That's not as convenient, but if it's a choice between typing in an IP address and not having it work, I know what I'll choose
Thanks,
