Nexus 7, Chrome, canoot "see" Calibre content server

I've used Calibre for over a year - but was frustrated when we bought our Nexus 7 in July - could not transfer books there (only newly purchased from Amazon).

Dedicated today to solving that -- I've spent hours reading everything; I was on Calibre 0.8.60, saw wireless was added on x.65, downloaded x.66 today and purchased the Calibre Companion app.

I've been able to "send" books to our Nexus (even tweaking it to store them in the Kindle app folder - hoping to sync bookmarks with my wife's Kindle 3 - but that is a different discussion) - but I cannot browse FROM the Nexus.

I have everything enabled, and I can see my library from any PC in house -- //desktop:8080 (yeah, I know, a generic name... but it works: desktop, NAS, laptop, kids, work)

Chrome, on our Nexus 7, continually gives "Oops! Google Chrome could not find desktop:8080" -- no matter how many different ways I try... with slashes (both directions), etc.

I even tried the IP address...

Ugh! Any ideas?

(I've read this forum for a while, and have enjoyed the learning results - had to join today to figure out what's wrong? Seriously, I'm not that drunk!

*edit: Corrected goofy typos. We're also GMT-7, so only 5 pm now.
