No port forwarding rules. My router's more 3g WiFi Dongle. Can be used as both a modem and router. Pretty basic settings on its webpage.

The first step, 127.0.0.1, won't go through the dongle.

I don't think it's the firewall as it's turned off, but perhaps I should read up on it.

*Something* on the laptop is blocking TCP connections.

BTW, anything more than 32000 (port number) is invalid according to Calibre.

I have no idea why I put that restriction in.
It is time to check some really basic things. The examples, when I can provide them, are from my debian VPS.
Open a terminal and run netstat. Verify that calibre is actually listening on the port and that the listening ip address is 0.0.0.0.
Code:
www:~# netstat -t -l -p -v
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
[...]
tcp 0 0 *:9192 *:* LISTEN 14151/calibre-serve
tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 14735/mysqld
[...]
Verify that the port isn't being blocked at a base level (iptables):
Code:
iptables -L -vn > aaaaa
Open the file aaaaa (or whatever you called it) and look through what you have. If iptables is being used then there should be rules like the following.
Code:
Chain net2fw (1 references)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
508K 29M ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 /* HTTP */
You are looking for rules that do something with 127.0.0.1 or dpt:9090
As far as I can tell, Ubuntu uses the firewall ufw. I don't use ufw so I can't provide any examples. ufw can do process-based filtering. Try the commend
to get a general list of what the firewall is doing.
Try running the command
to see if calibre is one of the apps that is being managed.
