Trouble accessing books on local network

[garsnem]

v0.8.61 no problems accessing books through Stanza on my local network. Also external IP connection no problem trough browser

When upgrading to 0.8.62 I can see the server in Stanza on the local network, I select the local Calibre server but times out at 60 seconds (or 120 seconds when increased) and responds error no books found. External IP through web browser working fine

0.8.63 same results as above

Downgrade to 0.8.61 and both working fine again

Wanted to share this info in case anything has changed that would affect this

Thoughts?

Nice HW specs

Are you running a 3rd party firewall, the Calibre upgrade might need to be white listed.

[garsnem]

McAfee Security Center
Version: 11.0
Build: 11.0.678

Under settings - Internet connections for programs it shows that Calibre is ok to use the internet.
Additionally I still have access to the server with a browser through the external IP
After each upgrade Mcafee prompts me for permission to allow access.

FYI just tested it on my wifes computer and have the same result on the local share through stanza

Worked fine with 0.8.61
When upgraded to 0.8.63 error on the local share "Catalog Error - The request has timed out and in Stanza it shows no shared books.
Access with a browser through external IP works fine.
She is running a windows 7 - 64 bit PC as well but she is using Norton 360 v6.2.1.5
My wife's PC is accessing the same library shared from my PC

Calibre is NOT Multi user. You are asking for pain if 2 computers access (have calibre connected to) the same Library
The Content server is the correct way for multiple READ users.

BTW the server ALSO needs to have its name white-listed calibre.exe <port> (I could have sworn, it was calibre-server.exe but it shows up in TCPview as calibre.exe)
