Hi folks, I've been working with Sahara on this one and it's been quite a challenge.

Initially we set her calibre server up and she was only able to access it using data, no wifi connection (either from work or from her workplace) would enable her to access it but she could access it through her data plan and I could access it from an adjacent country. Since then it's quit working all together and neither of us can access it regardless of how we try.

She's hosting the calibre server on her iMac (and my Apple knowledge is dismal) and is using a Sagemcom router. She uses an ipad and an android phone to try to access the server.

I set her calibre server up exactly like mine is set up on my Win7 machine, and I have no issues at all and am able to access my server using the external ip addy url with the proper port whether on a wifi connection or a data plan. I am starting to think this is caused by some nefarious Apple setting that I have yet to identify.
