BTW: You said it didn't work when she used it on Mac. With the mac networking you have to add .local after the Mac's network name.. My mac is named iMac (yea, I know lame). So, when I browse to it in iPod Stanza I have to use:
http://imac.local:8080/stanza

Did it! On her Mac, anyway. Adding the .local (which was news to us) enabled me to connect her Touch to Calibre on her Mac, and then with the /stanza ending we got a nice display of the books. Thanks!!
Connecting to Calibre on my PC, the results are still confusing: adding the /stanza (in Stanza on her Touch) results in Stanza trying to download "stanza" as an ebook, which doesn't net much. No display of titles at all. Removing the /stanza results in a tiny web display, unusable.
When I connect to my PC from my PC (in Firefox), I get what you described above: without the /stanza appended, I get a web view of part of the library. With /stanza appended, I get a full listing of highlighted (linked) titles.
Anyway, for now as along as her Touch can connect to Calibre on her machine, we're good to go. Thanks, Bob!
P.S. Could that .local business have something to do with why we can't see her Mac on our local network (from the PCs in the house)? It's always been weird for us: she can see one or two of our PCs from her Mac, but we can never see her Mac from our PCs.
