Calibre Content Server - Page 2

Access to Calibre server works fine locally and on the LAN with the internal IP address. I'm trying to set this up so I can use web access while I'm vacation next week. When I enter my new URL associated with my external IP address, it won't load. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need help with your router, which is beyond the scope of this forum

remember to use your Public IP

You probably will need to forward a port to an internal IP address / port combination.

Yep, I use my public IP with a dns service and have set up port forwarding on my router. I can ping the IP address and have used a port checker to see if the port is open. Everything looks fine, bu when I enter either my dns name or my public ip : port,
the message says it can't find the server. The folder for calibre library is shared. What else should I check?
