Hi I'm trying to sync my calibre app on my android phone to my library on my laptop but it just wont work. I have put my ip address in the necessary field (and login and password) in the app, also ensured that the server is running on my laptop. I have tried a test server which works fin but then i use my IP address and get "an error has occurred, check your server address" message. but I have typed it in correctly!

Please help if you can, I have spent hours on this!

Android devices cannot handle passwords. Remove the password from the calibre content server and try it.
