Inside Calibre on my computer, I added the “Connect/share” choice to the main toolbar. Once I set it to “Allowed” all worked as advertised. In my firewall program I had to find Calibre.exe, which was listed as “The main Calibre program” in the “T” portion of the list, not in the “C’s” where I expected it. Eventually, I realized my firewall was blocking Calibre from making the connection. However, it didn’t work the first time I tried to connect from Calibre on my PC. I have IP address and port set to “Automatic” and it works with my home Wi-Fi.
