127.0.0.1 is also known as LocalHost

That address is for a single machine only as a way to communicate between apps. It is non-routable.
You can never access that from the outside of the box, because every box has its own LocalHost

I will assume that 192.168.1.7:33565 is your host machine and you set that port number in the calibre Sharing over the net config.
