There are a few things you can do to check basic connectivity, but I need to know what OS you are using on the machine running calibre before I can answer more.
It might be worth your trouble to go into your router settings and look for some setting that sounds like guest mode.

Well, that's extremely annoying. I know the router has a guest network option but I'm connected to the main network. I'll look into that this afternoon once I get home from work. May try plugging my laptop into the router and seeing if it works then. That's going to be an extremely frustrating thing if I'm going to have to do that every time.
In the meantime, I'm using Win7 as an OS.
