Question Calibre companion - Problems connecting

Hi, just purchased CC v 3.4.2 and am having problems trying to connect Nexus 7 tablet using CC to my Calibre library on my PC.

I have followed the instructions, started both the wireless device connection and the content server. Make a note of the ip addresses of both, and entered IP address & port number into CC. No joy - I get:

For wireless using port 9090: failed to connect because the ip address was entered incorrectly (no it wasn't), it was copied exactly from Calibre.

For content server: using port 8080 - cannot find Content Server. Note: The Content Server IP Address has ticked "Use same IP as wireless connections". I get the screen that says neither Wireless Device nor Content Server are running - yes they are, and I also took the option to "Run server automatically when calibre starts".

I have turned my firewall completely off, to see if that helped - no joy.

I did tick "use fixed port".

One thing that I noticed is that my IP address (obtained from running ipconfig) is the same as the Calibre IP address - is that a problem?

My device IP address is different, and is running wireless OK.
If I connect my tablet to PC via USB, I don't see "Send to Device" on Calibre, but Kindle works OK.

On CC, when you enter Calibre's IP Address, I enter it as per Calibre, but where is says Wireless Connect Port - I have tried entering both 8080 and 9090, but still no joy. Should something else go there?

I don't know what else to do now - please help, Calibre is so good, that I really would like it on my tablet.

Many thanks, much appreciated.
Chris
