Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum, and also new to e-book reading and Calibre.
But until now, I am very enthousiastic about it.
I have a question.
After installing Calibre and running the content-server, I configered port-forwarding in my router.
Most things are working correctly, but not from outside my home network. I looked over similar problems in this forum, but could not find a solution.
- The calibre-page is working from another computer within my home network on the internal ip-address of the pc where calibre content-server is running.
- The calibre-page is also working from within my home network on the external ip-address. (I followed the advise to go to whatismyip.com).
- The calibre-page is not working from outside (VPN connection/appserver at my work); get an error "unable to connect".
- I can ping my external ip-address from my work and getting a reply.
My conclusions so far:
- the firewalls of the server-pc is not troubeling anything.
- port forwarding works, at least from within my home network.
My question: Perhaps it is the firewall of my work, that keeps me from getting a response, or can it be something else?
