08:00:00: ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-19
08:00:08: Found fixed IP with auto-connect fallback: 71... , 192...

08:00:00: ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-20
08:00:13: Server found: 71...
08:00:13: The computer that answered does not seem to be running calibre

08:00:21: ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-21
08:00:24: Server found: 71...
08:00:29: The computer that answered does not seem to be running calibre

08:00:01: ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-22
08:00:22: Found fixed IP with auto-connect fallback: 68... , 192...
The messages in the auto-connect log aren't right. When CC says "server found" CC really means that it is going to try that IP manually specified address. When CC says "The computer that answered ..." CC really means "No computer answered". I will fix both of these messages.

Taking into consideration the above confusion and the message changes I am making, what the log should really be saying is
Code:
08:00:00:  ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-19
08:00:08:  Found fixed IP with auto-connect fallback: 71... , 192... 

08:00:00:  ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-20
08:00:13:  Server to check: 71... 
08:00:13:  Could not find a computer running calibre

08:00:21:  ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-21
08:00:24:  Server to check: 71... 
08:00:29:  Could not find a computer running calibre

08:00:01:  ****** Starting connection on 2015-11-22
08:00:22:  Found fixed IP with auto-connect fallback: 68... , 192...
The fact that the last one says "with auto-connect fallback" tells us that calibre was alive and running on a machine on the local WiFi network and responded to CC's "are there any calibre instances out there" message. I can't tell from this log whether the 68... address worked, but it is certain that the 192... address would work.
