I've had that happen a few times.

Make sure when you log in that "remember me is checked."
(Similar idea: If you stayed logged in on a page for a few days you might get a session-token-expired error.)

I changed the port assigned to a much different port and confirmed it's not in use by other services on that machine. I tried taking the tweak on interface out, but that only disabled being able to connect. I looked for the folder /files for calibre and reviewed some py config files, but found nothing set there that indicates the 127.0.0.1 port be assigned.
The folder/file organization is different on a Mac than PC, so aside from the python files I Iooked at, I would not know what to rename.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Port forwarding has nothing to do with the problem here, calibre can always broadcast
just over the local network.
IOW, you may be port forwarding, but the port fowarding happens
after the problem already happened, and therefore it is irrelevant.
