Finally I tried port 80 (mind you, I really do not know what I am doing), and what I get is that "80" is dropped by the webadress, and I get to a window welcoming me to my wireless router configuration page.
Does this mean I cannot connect two devices running on the same wifi network, or am I doing something wrong? (I am trying to conenct this way as I have problems with the USB cable)

if you are getting your routers configuration page, you have the wrong IP. (routers typically: 192.168.x.1 where x is 0 or 1)
open a command prompt (some call it a DOS Box): Type
ipconfig /all and tap enter.
look for the section Ethernet adapter (there may be more than 1 section)
that is the IP you want
the port must match what is set in Calibre.
You mus STOP the Start the server if you change the PORT
192.168.0.7:8080 is My Calibre server. 192.168.0.11:8081 is my Wife's Library (of TN's
