Jay,
Thank you for your assistance. We have no ability to cause Alexa to find our device.
YES, Jay, when we disable and re-enable the Alexa bridge, we are getting this error (below):
Alexa-Hue Bridge Error Computer has no host name specified. Check the Sharing system preference and restart the plugin once the name is resolved.
Alexa-Hue Bridge 1 devices published
Started plugin "Alexa-Hue Bridge 1.0.3"
Alexa-Hue Bridge Starting hue bridge web server and discovery threads
We have only one NW interface connected (Ethernet, fixed IP).
Computer name: 16WHSVR (16wh.local)
Use Dynamic Global Host Name is NOT selected. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3c63pmkww1goga/Screenshot%202016-08-05%2015.05.10.png?dl=0

When we paste this (python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostname()") into a terminal window, the following is returned:
Last login: Fri Aug 5 14:31:58 on console
16wh:~ williamverhelle$ python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostname()"
16wh.server.private
16wh:~ williamverhelle$
When we paste this (python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())") into a Terminal window, the following is returned:
16wh:~ williamverhelle$ python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())"
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you again for your help Jay.

JAY WROTE: Are you getting any errors when the plugin starts (you can reload it to see)?
