Using hostname to connect to calibre web interface
On my kobo I have no problem connecting to the calibre web server by using its ip address. When I try to use the hostname (XXX.local), nothing comes up. I am able to access the interface this way from the ipad and mac desktop.
How do I set up the kobo to be able to access the calibre web server using hostname and not ip? |

I turned on Netbios Detect feature on my Netgear router. That allows some flexibility |

i.e. my laptop is named tpad, so in the Kobo web browser I just type tpad:8080 and it connects. |
