Hi all.. experienced Calibre user here with a big problem I cannot figure out. I have been running a calibre server (headless on PC via bat file at startup) for many years... have my PC setup to port forward 8080 for UDP/TCP for my local IP via Verizon FIOS router.

Recently switched to a MAC and setup Calibre server there via Automator script file upon login... server works great via my local IP address and port 9090 - but I cannot access from outside the network using my "real" IP address. The port forward is setup the same as it was on my PC (except for the port switch).. can't figure this one out and was hoping for some ideas...

Have Little Snitch running but turned off to test and still no dice to access via real IP address. No other "firewall" running on MAC that I am aware of.

Last piece of the puzzle to move completely over to MAC... thx
