Using the Calibre server function to download ebooks on a Kobo Mini

Hello everyone,

following many threads found here, I tried to use the Calibre server with the mini, to no avail. I know I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure what it is.

1- In Calibre, I "start content server" by clicking on the connect/share button.
2- On the Mini with WIFI on, I open the browser, click in the address bar and start with http:// and then the numbers of the IP address.
3- Nothing happens, even if I don't touch any part of the screen for 5 minutes.

Note that browsing on the Mini works fine other than that (fine in regards with en eInk device capability, that is).
I'm not quite sure what IP to use. When I look in Calibre (the connect/share button), the IP starts with 192. When I open preferences/change Calibre behaviour/sharing over the net/Test server, the address of the page opened starts with 127. When I check what IP is used by my computer, on Google for example, it's said to start with 88.

I have tried those three different addresses, but it's always the same thing: nothing happens on the Mini.

Any idea

Thank you in advance
