I know it's a newbie question, but I never read anywhere to know for sure it does or it doesn't, so I decided to reach out and ask the community.

I have calibre (regular app, no server) with content server + wireless device connection turned on by default.

I can access content server if my device shares same wifi, but not in a different connection. Nor via ip provided, neither with my public ip.

Am I missing something here? or does Content Server only work on same network, anyway?

Thank you.

And while we're at it, where the content server html/css files reside? I'm an ui designer and I'd like to tweak it. A theme, so to speak.
