You can find your IP address in the settings menu, and devmode also has a "force Wi-Fi on" setting to prevent Wi-Fi from turning off while you're testing things.
I routinely FTP into my Kobos from my iPhone to grab screenshots, etc. Telnet, too. Enabling dev mode is one of my first actions when getting a new Kobo. Just letting you know my skill level.

This is where I'm confused with what you're telling me. I've always used Nickelmenu to enable Telnet (and FTP) in order to connect to my readers. Telnet won't work otherwise. It gives me errors like the following when I just tried it:

Code:
>telnet 10.0.1.46
Trying 10.0.1.46...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.1.46: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
If you know better, please teach!

Update: You mentioned in another thread that you have your Kobo in sideloaded mode. Do you think that's the difference between your telnet experience and mine?
