Unhappy Help! Non-techie NEVER managed to connect e-readers to Calibre Content Server

I am writing this in the hope that some merciful soul might want to help me.
This is the situation:
Running Calibre (latest version: 3.41.2) on a Windows 10 laptop.
I have NEVER managed to connect to the Calibre Content Server from either of my e-readers (Sony PRS-T2, Kindle Paperwhite 2, Kobo Forma).

If I understand things correctly, I have to:
- Start the Calibre Content Server
- point the browser of the ereader to the IP adress and port number
In all 3 readers, the browser just sits there and nothing happens

I have tried ports 8080 and 80.
Connecting from the laptop's browser (http://127.0.0.1:8080/) works very well.

I read and read... nothing.
What am I doing wrong?! It's driving me to distraction.
If I don't solve this problem a.s.a.p , I will return my newly-bought Kobo Forma, since I could not find any alternative to the "Send to Kindle" app for Kobo.
You are my last hope and I thank you in advance for any help you can give.
