iPad Calibre on Macbook Pro 2011 - Snow Leopard

bmwr1200c · 07-31-2011, 07:42 AM

Hi,
I have 2011 Macbook Pro running snow leopard. I installed the latest version of Calibre on it. I am trying to add content server to my iPad. Sometime it connects and sometime it does not.
I have firewall settings turned off and there is no VPN client installed on my Macbook.

I was wondering if there is any setting that i ignored in the macbook which keep changing the IP or port internally which keep blocking this connection.

ipconfig always gives -192.168.20.102
I used safari to open the above IP and it opens everytime.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what problem you are having. Do you mean that you can't get metadata for your content?

The problem is when I start the content serve on the Calibre, I can not open this IP (192.168.20.102) address in my iPad safari browser.
I am not sure why, when I enter this above IP address in Macbook safari then it shows complete catalog. I want to access calibre content server through my iPad so that I can download the books directly to iPad via wifi home network. I can always transfer by connecting the iPad to my macbook but I don't want that. I want to transfer my book to iPad via home wifi network.
