OK, that makes sense. If the kobo.com domain is being blocked then most of the on-line function of the device is also being blocked and is useless.

The URL for the check is now http://www.kobo.com/buildinfo.xml. The was a discussion about how to get around this recently. It was someone doing something on a local network to return the appropriate results. That would allow you to use later firmware. But, for your situation, a patch to disable the check would probably be better. I can't remember if there is one or not.
