Using the "name and port #" of the Caliber server does not work with the Kobo browser although that form does work fine with other devices/browsers.

Good enough for the quick wireless transfer of a book or news subscription however.

Thanks again for the info.
To use a "name" instead of an ip address, it needs to be in the devices local hosts file, or you need to have a DNS server on your network that the device is configured to use, or similar. The names needs to be resolved to the ip address by _something_.
