Use your local PC name with the port you specified in Calibre and /stanza... so, if your PC is named starrigger and you run the content server on port 8080 put this URL into Stanza:
http://starrigger:8080/stanza
It should find your content server (this will have to be via WiFi as your PC won't be on the public internet).
The other option is to use Stanza desktop. See my post here about how to do that. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...95&postcount=2

Okay, my wife just tried it. Stanza desktop wouldn't install on her Mac, so she installed Calibre. Couldn't get that to show up in Stanza on her Touch, so I activated the server function on my PC and had her aim for that. It worked, but only when we deleted "/stanza" from the URL you gave.
The problem is, the display when it comes up is so tiny and hard to work with when it comes up on the ipod that it's not really working in any useful way. (With much effort, she downloaded a book or two.) For one thing, it only shows a small subset of the Calibre library, and as soon as you try to enlarge the display, everything goes wonky.
Any other ideas? Anyone out there who uses an ipod touch regularly? It can move music files directly through the USB cable from the computer. Is there a way to move book files directly?
