I can not only ping the phone, with File Manager + on the phone - which I'm just evaluating along with Solid Explorer - I can click for it to be an FTP server on the phone and access the phone's files from the FTP address it provides in a browser on my laptop. And vice versa, with File Explorer + I can set up the laptop as a local network location and view any locations and files on the laptop set to shared, plus any locations and files owned by the user I login as, in File Explorer + on the phone (including the Calibre directory on the laptop - so I could actually just copy everything over to thee phone using File Explorer + ... but I'd like to get the Calibre server and wireless device working, or I'd just have done it with a USB cable yesterday!).

Although I can't seem to convince Solid Explorer to do the same things, for some reason I haven't figured out yet (maybe the same problem as with Calibre?) To access the laptop with File Explorer + I did have to give my laptop username and password. There's nowhere I can see in the CC settings to enter those, though I did find the button to clear them, so presumably if CC needed to send the laptop username and password it would throw up a login box, and it doesn't. (and I never had to all the other times I used CC up to when I last used it working on 5th Feb).

I have whitelisted Calibre and calibre-parallel in Comodo. And Comodo's logs show it reacting to Calibre's antics under the containment module, but ignoring them due to Calibre and Calibre-parallel being trusted. I also tried turning off every Comodo module (antivirus, firewall, auto-containment, HIPS, Viruscope, Website Filtering) but it didn't make any difference. When all modules are on, only the containment event log shows any entries for Calibre at all, and it is always showing that it ignores them as trusted.

Still stuck.
