First, what operating system do you have on the machine running calibre?

If it is Windows, then what antivirus are you running? Some such as ESET and MalwareBytes are known to cause problems. Also for Windows, did you check item 4 (Network location) described in our FAQ on connecting?

What wireless router are you using? Is it dual-band? If so, are your device and the calibre computer using the same band? If not, are connections allowed between bands? Continuing: does your wireless router support, and enforce, "guest mode"? That is a mode where devices connected wirelessly can see only the internet. They cannot see any other device on the local network.
