New PC won't wirelessly connect with Calibre Companion

NSILMike · 06-13-2020, 04:14 PM

I've replaced my laptop. It's Windows 10 and I've installed Calibre and it works fine. I'm using my android tablet from before which always sync'd wirelessly just fine. Now I cannot connect as a wireless device or to the content server. I've checked the IP address and port on both Calibre and CC and they're matched. However when I try to wirelessly sync, it fails and says 'failed to connect' and the content server fails and says 'cannot find content server.'

Any suggestions?

My guess is that the anti-virus on the new laptop is blocking connections to calibre. Check out the list of suggestions at http://faq.calibrecompanion.co/index...lution_id=1006.

My further guess is that the network on the new laptop isn't private.

That was it. Switched it to private and that solved it instantly. Many thanks.
