clarify the network location issues for where calibre is on a Windows 7 PC please, with CC on a wi-fi tablet. please.
hre's what I think I know:
Win 7 has the concepts of home, work & public networks. ( + workgroups, but let not go there ! ). Both home & work are also called private networks in windows speak.
the firewall options for a program (calibre) are block: allow on private, allow on public..
that seems to create a 3 x 3 grid of possibilities .
A virgin install of calibre will default to: allowed out through firewall ( not sure if that is for public or for private only) , and connect/share in calibre will default to off. So that has to be explicit configured, before trying to connect with CC ?
( not sure what windows UAC adds to the party as I don't use that , & I guess a virgin WIn 7 install does not like incoming network connections unless password protection for that is disabled )
so which are the winniing combinations & which are the fails .
calibre blocked in firewall is an obvious fail so we are now down to 6 contenders ?
I think you are saying pubic networks is also a fail ? ....
