You can do one of two things.

1. Set the CalibreLibrary folder on one computer to be Shared, on the second computer use Map Drive in Windows Explorer to set the Shared folder as a drive, then tell Calibre on the second computer to use that CalibreLibrary folder as the library.

or 2. If your network has internet access you can get a free Dropbox account, put your CalibreLibrary folder in the My Dropbox folder and then tell Calibre on both computers to use that folder for the library. This is the method I use so that I can access Calibre from my two computers at work and my desktop and laptop at home without having to worry about synching everything all the time as Dropbox automatically does it for me.

The only thing with either of these methods is that you cannot have Calibre open in more than one place unless it's accessing a different library. I know for sure it will cause synching problems with Dropbox, It will probably do the same using the Shared folder/Mapped Drive method.

If you need detailed directions on how to setup either method let me know and I can write them up for you.

Edit: This only works for synching. Manichean is right if you're looking to change the folder structure, Calibre won't do it.
