The manual also has info on accessing the server from the internet...
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html

I figured it out on my own. The answer was extremely simple and like many people have been saying 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.
