You need to find the IP of the computer on your network that is running the content server, something like 192.168.1.24. Once you know the IP address you need to forward port 8080 to this IP address.

Good Luck.
Thanks for helping. I set up port forwarding using the address I can see for my content server on my home browser.

Now the hard part is finding someone willing test this out to see if I forwarded the ports properly.

I think the other part that is confusing is that I'm not sure how fakename.o-ip.org:8080 is redirected to http://192.168.1.137:8080/ (my calibre content server) when people click on the link.

I've attached an image of my current port forwarding configuration.
