I mostly use cc for fanfiction and it is updating daily and I need to sync books. I am not totally tech savvy and don't understand a lot of the more technical points made in the FAQ. I did try the port and IP connection thing and no luck.

How to make it work? Should I try content server instead? And if so, will it sync and update the changes to the epubs? Thanks
What does CC say when you try to connect? Does it time out or does it say something else?

My guess is that the firewall is blocking CC from accessing calibre-portable.

Does the CC content server connection work? Regardless, it won't do what you want. It doesn't automatically update metadata and there is no sync books option.
