Here's what I've done. I went into the start menu of my pc and in the search typed in cmd. When the DOS window opened, I typed ipconfig. I got the IPv4 address there.
http://192.168.1.105. When I created the catalog in Aldiko, I titled it Calibre, used the URL number above with a :8080 after. When I tapped on the URL in Aldiko I get a screen that says loading. It then takes me to an internet page that says loading as well. After about 30 seconds, I message box comes up that says Data connectivity problem. Thye connection to the server timed out. The tablet is connected to my home wifi, but as a guest. Could that have anything to do with it? I wouldn't know how to add the tablet so as not to have to be a guest. (No manual, just a cd to put into my pc). Is there anything else I have to do to get the PC and the Tablet to talk to each other? The Calibre server is on. When I click on test server from Calibre on my pc, it comes right up.
Also, what is syntax? I'm very non techie. Under the IPv4 number in the DOS window, there is also
http://192.168.1.1 that says Default Gateway after it. I tried that URL too, with the :8080 and that did not work either.
I've been at this since last night and am banging my head against the wall.
