The first thing to do is verify that the Calibre web server is running. On the content server window where you start your web server, there is a 'test server' button. Press that and see if your web browser shows your catalog. If the ip address it uses is 127.0.01, change that to your real ip or host name and verify again.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had tested the server. My web browser shows my catalog instantly.

If that works, then you know your content server is working. What I ended up doing was manually adding a book source in Stanza. For the url use
Code:
http://my.ip.address:8080/stanza
Change 8080 to whatever port your Calibre content server is on. I also left the username as Calibre and blank password
Originally, I set a password, and that worked perfectly between my web browser and Calibre. However, after not being able to see Calibre in Stanza, I removed the username and password. It hadn't occurred to me at that point to keep the username "calibre". So I just replaced it and restarted the content server.

Sure enough, "Books in calibre" suddenly appeared in Stanza on my iPhone! Thanks for that reminder.

However, pressing on the "Books in calibre" item still results in "Catalog Error Can't connect to host.

As I said, Stanza has no problem seeing books open in Stanza desktop on my laptop, so evidently the wifi connection is working. But something is still going wrong between Stanza and Calibre.

Are you getting the same error message as I am?

Thanks for your help and advice.
