How do I go to Calibre using Chrome on my tablet (android)?
I know I have to do that via the calibre Content server but I can't figure it out.
Who has experience with this and wants to help me. |

For the basic startup, I would suggest opening Preferences ( Voorkeuren ) => Sharing over the Net ( Delen via het net ). For your first time, I would suggest leaving all settings at their defaults. After you click Start Server ( Inhoudsserven starten ), after a few seconds, you will see a line similar to the one in the image reading: Content server listening at: IP_addressort HTTP. In the image, the ip address is 10.0.0.184 and the port is 8080.
If you then enter http://ip_addressort in the address bar of your web browser, it should connect to the content server. Once this is working, then you can start setting up users and other advanced features. |

The address you are showing '::1' is the IP v6 localhost address so equivalent of 127.0.0.1 using IP v4. It will only work on the device itself. You will need to find an IPv4 or IPV6 address that can be used out the computer. Which operating system and version are you running?

If you are not using the IP V6 connection, you could try going to Network Connections, locate the adapter you are using and then removing the checkmark on Internet Protocol Version 6.

Okay, I'll do that. Then just use the same link on the tablet that I use on the laptop?

You can also try opening a command prompt and typing ipconfig and seeing what it shows. Something like below: Code:
Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : vf.shawtron.net IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.184 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1 |

Click the Sharing (globe and 3 orbs) Icon.
It will show what IPort of the server is on (if it is running or allow you to start it) |
