Hello!

When starting the Calibre Server from within "Preferences->Content Server", I am constantly receiving a message "ERROR: Failed to start content server: Port 8080 not free on '0.0.0.0'".

What is preventing the startup? What can I try in order to start the server?

My WinXP computer is on a local LAN using DHCP.
The windows firewall is active but I added "calibre-server.exe" to the exceptions list.

Thanks!

p.s. I actually puzzled by the 0.0.0.0 address!
