It is hard to say without more details. First:

You are saying that in calibre when you click on the connect/share button you see two IP addresses next to "Stop wireless device"? This could be the source of the problem. Do you have two network cards? Is one of the IP addresses a VPN? Are you running something like VirtualBox that creates multiple IP addresses? If you do have multiple IP addresses then reply on this thread supplying the IP addresses and why they exist.

You want calibre to show the IP address that matches what you see on WiFi. If your home router has an IP address something like 192.168.0.1 then you want calibre to use an IP address beginning with 192.168.0. Your kindle (which Fire is it?) should have an IP address beginning with the same numbers.

As theducks said, verify that the port numbers in calibre for the content server and the wireless device are different. I suggest that for the moment you use the defaults: 8080 for the content server and 9090 for the wireless device.

Once the IP addresses and ports are straightened out, the next thing is to check that the web browser on the Fire can "see" the calibre content server. Assuming that the content server port is 8080, enter something like "http://192.168.0.N:8080/" where N is the last number of the IP address of the machine running calibre. If this doesn't work then the problem is in one of the following places:
  • The home router will not pass information from WiFi to the machine running calibre (Guest Mode, Wireless Isolation, multiband)
  • The firewall on the machine running calibre is rejecting incoming or outgoing packets
  • The antivirus on the machine running calibre is rejecting incoming or outgoing packets.

If the device can "see" the content server then it is time to try CC. Change CC's wireless device settings to "Automatic" and attempt to connect. If it doesn't work then I will need debug logs from both CC and calibre. The FAQ answer How do I get help?. Please send the debug logs to cc_debug_logs at charles dot haleys dot org. Erase the MultiPie address.
