Thanks for the reply Manichean!
I know just enough about this stuff to be a danger to myself and others, so excuse me if I misunderstand some of your comments.

On my desktop, yes. Both the ip address I obtained from the ipconfig command and the 'test server' ip address typed into a browser brings up my library on calibre.

No. I tried reaching the library on another (wireless) computer on my home network and that didn't work either.

Is the tablet in the same IP range as your computer is?
|
Yes, the tablet's IP address only differs in the last number in the set of four.

If you have a combined router/AP, then sometimes the WLAN devices are not allowed to talk to the wired LAN devices, which I'm assuming your computer to be, for security reasons. Is this the case on your network?

Yes, that is the case. Is there any work around?
In case there isn't an easy fix, I hooked up my tablet to my computer via a USB cable as is suggested in the calibre faq. When I mount the tablet I don't see a "send to device" button on calibre on my desktop. Could I have configured calibre incorrectly?
