I have been using Calibre for quite a while now with no real issues, until now. I have browsed through the postings here and found a few sort of related posts, but nothing that really addresses my problem. The Calibre help page also has not been too helpful.

I have just attempted to share my library with my Archos 7ht because it's a lot easier to send books via the internet than to sideload them into the device (in theory anyway). I start the server on my laptop and then set up the catalog on my Archos, but then when I try to connect to the server on my Archos I get a message stating that the web page is not available.

The server page is accessible on my laptop (i.e. I can type in the URL and it pops up just fine), but when I try to access it on my Archos or on another laptop I get the message that the page is not available.

I use the URL address that is shown when I hit the "test server" button. Am I missing something? Any help or direction to posts that address this would be greatly appreciated.
