Calibre Server

AutumnDreamer · 02-17-2012, 07:34 PM

This is a two part question depending on the answer to the first part.

1) If set up correctly, can others access the server and download books from me and not be in the same house? Say, somewhere else in the world?

2) If so, how on earth do I set it up? I've tried, but I can't figure it out. I've searched for simple instructions, but I haven't found any. I don't understand what's in the manual. I'm not that technically inclined. If someone can tell me what to do in plain English, what information I need and where to get it, then I can do it.

Thanks in advance!

Plain English, probably not as it does get a bit technical and is dependent on your network hardware (modem/router). You can find some instructions on this thread:

Thanks! I'll try checking out that thread and see if I can manage to understand any of it.
