I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here...but maybe more brains will be able to point out where we're going wrong. I have calibre server set up on my PC. It's running, and I can access it fine both on our home network, and outside it - I had a couple of friends check and they have no problem accessing and/or downloading from it.
However, neither Chris's Droid X nor my Palm Pre will download from the server. We can access it and browse the collection, but cannot download anything. An .rtf file will open in the browser on Chris's Droid, but won't even do that on my Palm. Chris has Aldiko installed, so the phone had an app. that reads ePubs, so that shouldn't have been the problem, at least as I understand how that works.
Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
