What firewall are you using on your laptop. If it's a windows laptop, that has a built in firewall that is turned on by default. That can sometimes cause these sort of issues especially if you install security software that comes with firewall and anti-virus such as Norton's.
Also, try going to your laptop, bring up Calibre, bring up preferences, bring up Sharing over the net, then click on show server logs. That will list the access log that shows the ip adress and ports. I think that Calibre uses a system much like FTP where it will open a random port to copy the book rather than use the http or https port.
