Hi Guys,

I've been having some odd issues with Calibre.

When I first installed and started the content server everything worked peachy keen.

However, the next time I attempted to start the server Calibre reported 8080 as not free. Odd - so I checked through and made sure that no other services or apps were using 8080, made sure that my firewall was open on 8080 and so forth. Tried restarting calibre and the machine.

All of this was to no avail.

So, I tried a different port and this time everything started up a-ok.

This was fine for a short time, however, then when I went to start up the server again (after having restarted the machine) the port once again showed up as closed - so, now, 8080 and 19000 are not free.

I tried this song and dance for a few more ports. It works ok for the first time, and then the next time it fails.

This is pretty weird.

I'm using Windows 7 Professional, Calibre 0.7.54, Windows Security Essentials and the regular Windows Firewall.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I the only person to run into this? Am I missing something obvious? My apologies if this is covered somewhere else or is in the wrong forums, I have looked around to no avail.

Thanks in Advance.
