Can anyone give any advice or shine any light on the subject?

Many thanks.
As far as I know, the Aura One would not show in the Network section of Windows Explorer as Samba is not installed in the Kobo Linux implementation. This is similar to the way a Windows computer with File and Printer Sharing disabled will not show up.

In the Kobo Developer's Corner sub-forum, you can find discussions on implementing Samba to connect your Kobo to a SMB/CIFS network (use the search function). I played with it with an older firmware version and did not find it all that useful. Due to changes in the kernel (see armel vs. armhf), it will need some work to be usable with the latest firmware.
