MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Wireless Device Connection binding to wrong IP

mobamoba · 06-22-2017, 09:25 AM

I have 2 NICs on my server only one of which actually connects to the internet. Calibre is defaulting to the incorrect NIC meaning it's defaulting to the wrong IP. The Content Server allows me to specify an IP and that works fine; by contrast the Wireless Device server doesn't (well not that I can see).

How do I tell the Wireless Device connection to use the correct IP? I tried stopping and restarting it and it still binds to the wrong one. Is there some place I can manually specify this because the address it's binding to has no internet connection and I can't seem to make it bind to the IP that has internet? Thanks.

ETA: Using Calibre 3.0 on Windows.
