At this point it is impossible to debug what is going on. Providing answers to the "we don't know"s above will help pinpoint possible problem areas.

I might learn more if you send me debug logs for both calibre and CC, but perhaps not. For example, debug logs won't tell me whether some antivirus is blocking connections, whether the firewall exception is actually being applied. It will tell me if calibre is seeing connection requests.

What does calibre's "debug device detection" report?

Do you "space issues" prevent you from running calibre (installed) with the library on the portable drive?
Well, one of the issues was the firewall on my virus protection which just changed. But trying to do it from the USB drive still wasn't working right, it just was taking so long it would time out when I lowered the firewall. I had to reinstall the program on the laptop and the library too. But not some other stuff, so I can get it to work now. Thanks.
