Once you have set up calibre to be visible on the 'net, setting up CC or any other app to use that access is easy. You enter the domain name and the port, or the appropriate URL, into the app's connection dialog. In CC you will also need to check the "Allow 3G" check box if your "guest" is using a cellular network instead of a WiFi network to connect to the 'net.
And to directly answer your question: there are a many (!) different ways to connect calibre to the net, and many different problems and security issues that come with those ways. CC has nothing to do with these choices.

I figured it out on my own. The answer was extremely simple and no it does not change between networks/machines it is the same universal simple steps for everyone.
All you need to do is
- Set your usernames/passwords in calibre share settings
- Set your Calibre port to a custom port in the setting 8080 being the default.
- Forward your ports in your router giving it a label such as Calibre so you remeber what it is.
- I allowed Calibre.exe and Calibre-server.exe through windows firewall.
- Then you go to google type "Whats my IP". copy your ISP ip address (not local)
- Then save this link: http://XXXXXXXXX:YYYY
- XXXXXXXXX is the IP you pasted, YYYY is the Port that you set
That's all you need to do to access your Calibre from anywhere
Also unlike the "Calibre program" Which is totally useless as it does not have a built-in reader. You can actually read AND download your books with this method.
