I have set up the calibre server on my Mac Pro and I have to admit, I was blown away with the way it looks.

When I click on the Test Server button, up comes a beautiful page with links for Newest, All books, etc. Fantastic. It is a delight to navigate.

In Safari's address bar I have: http://127.0.0.1.1:8080/browse.

When I look at my Network address in my preferences, my machine has been allocated the address 10.0.1.176 by my Airport Express router.

Now, if I go to 10.0.1.188:8080/ in Safari on my iPad while on my WIFI network, I don't see the same page as that I describe above. I get a condensed version: a small icon, the EPUB button which starts the download and a brief description of the title.

If I type http://127.0.0.1.1:8080/browse in Safari on the iPad while on my WIFI network, I get a message that Safari could not connect to the server.

How can I get the same page to appear on the iPad as the page that appears when Safari is showing http://127.0.0.0.1:8080 while I am at home?

I have port forwarding on my router to my Mac Pro's address. Because my ISP has dynamic IP addresses, I have set up an account with DYNDNS. If I am away from home, I can see the server on my Mac so I know that my port forwarding works (at least for my Mac's server).

What do I need to do to access the full featured page of the Calibre server when away from home?

I would greatly appreciate any help with this. I have spent two hours trying to get this to work to no avail.
