Hi,

I have run the server with no problem on other devices but just moved it to a new machine.

I was previously starting the machine using winserv and had no problems. I have made sure there is no service installed and there is not duplicate process running.

I have VMWare installed and saw the other post about binding the IP Address in Tweaks which didn't work unfortunately. I've uninstalled vmware and no change - it is not find the virtual ip address but still no joy.

I have nothing running on port 8080 - checked with netstat -a and have no other virtual network adapters.

I have tried lots of random ports - whatever I use calibre reports "not free on 192.168.20.3" etc which is the correct IP address for the live adapter.

I've tried changing the bound IP to 0.0.0.0 and 192.168.20.3 and 127.0.0.1 and no joy with any of them.

I have tried installing on a totally separate machine and it is fine.

Read through as many threads as I could around the subject so apologies if I am repeating the question.

Any thoughts gratefully received - just bought a Nexus 7 which I want to connect to the library.
