[IOS] Wireless and Content Server Problems

bwall · 09-28-2018, 07:52 PM

I've tried connecting as a wireless device and CC connects and starts the initial sync. After about 2 minutes it just disconnects with no additional info.

When I try to connect to a Content Server I simply get the message Content Server Not Found. Both services are started on the main Calibre program and I'm using port 8080 for Content Server and 9090 for Wireless Device.

The main caliber program does not appear to recognize my iPad Air2 as a wireless device. I'm currently running IOS version 11.4.1.

I've tried reinstalling CC but get the same results. Running the most current version of both programs.

This is almost certainly a firewall/network/anti-virus problem. Our FAQ How do I setup Calibre Companion to connect to calibre? might help, especially if calibre is running on a computer running windows.

You were certainly right. I discovered I had my network set to Public instead of Private. I figured out how to change that and CC is now working as expected.

Duh! When in doubt, read the manual... 😃

You are welcome. Glad you got it sorted.
