We are going to add "pull" (browsing) somehow to CC at some point, but that doesn't help you now.

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?
Given that CC can connect, your device clearly can see "desktop". That eliminates several possibilities.

Things to try:
  1. How is CC set up? Did you enter the IP address? If so, did you try that IP address in the content server (CS)? If not, did you try the IP address shown on the Share/Connect menu?
  2. Did you try "http://192.168.x.y:8080/browse", using your correct IP address? Adding "/browse" will take you to the desktop version. This URL works on my galaxy nexus.
  3. As theducks asked, did you enable passwords on the CS? Kovid & I made some changes to the CS a while back to support passwords in android browsers, but something might have changed again. Try removing the password.
  4. As dwanthny asked, are you sure the CS is turned on? I think it is because you said you could connect from other machines, but it is always worth starting at the beginning.
