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.

So when you say it cannot be accessed through WiFi, do you mean using the external world-accessible IP, or via the internal LAN IP?
There is no good reason for the internal IP to fail when used from a device connected to the same WiFi network.
The external IP over 3G data is dependent on whether or not you have correctly set up port forwarding in your router.
You might not be able to access the external IP from within the LAN, depending on whether your router knows how to do NAT loopback.
