Yes, it's related.

Not that I'm aware of.

No.

Avast and windows firewall, nothing else (that I'm aware of).

You're right. After a quarter of an hour it has started with the following message:

Code:
calibre, version 0.9.2
ERROR: Excepción no considerada: <b>ValueError</b>:You must specify a valid interface name.

Traceback (most recent call last):
