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  |
127 is Local to your machine ONLY, the test uses that because it is basic
Use the 192. address AND the port defaults to
8080 (Lots of the LOW ports are blocked or reserved. use a 4 or 5 digit port number)
