When I click the "Connect/Share" icon on the toolbar, what IP address should it show for the content server? Should it show 127.0.0.1:Port# or should it show the internal IP address of the computer (ie. 192.x.x.x) and port number I've assigned? The port number I setup for port forwarding is the same port I specified in Preferences for 'Share -->Sharing Over the Net" under server port. I can connect to the server via the internet and it shows my library, so I know that port I assigned to be forwarded to the Calibre server is correct.

The Wireless device connection shows the internal IP address and the port and I can connect as a wireless device, but I cannot connect to the Content Server (Content Server sharing is started). The Wireless Sharing dialog under Connect/Shares hows the internal network IP address of the Calibre server and port 9090.

I've restarted both the application (Calibre) and the computer (Mac Mini), started and stopped the Calibre server.

Suggestions?
