you dont need to be connected to the net. You do need to add an exception for calibre in your firewall as calibre uses worker processes to do the conversion and communicates with these worker processes over the "net". The simplest way to check if this is your problem is to first disconnect your computer from the net, then tturn off your fireall and then start calibre and try the conversion.
