I'm trying to get my Toshiba Thrive to talk to the collection of books I have on my PC (Calibre).

On my tablet, I have obtained: Calibre Library (as well as aldiko, wordplayer, Moon + , etc).

Following every instructional page I can find I get to the point where "Sharing Over the Net" and it just doesn't like my 8080 Port. "Port 8080 not free on" my IP address.

I read that disabling my Virus protection should do the trick. I do and it doesn't.

I can manually change the port (8079 for instance) and it works but I can't get to anything else.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
