To be specific, that error happens if either calibre cannot determine the host name for the computer or cannot determine the IP address for the host name provided. That test has been there for years.
Try using DHCP to assign a fixed IP. Run "hostname" in a terminal window and see what comes back. Make sure that hostname is in /etc/hosts with the correct IP. If you have a local DNS, make sure it also returns the correct IP address for that hostname.
My guess is that something on your system changed what "hostname" is returning.
