Upgrading to the latest build seems to have solved the problem. It is difficult to imagine that DDWRT is blocking something on you LAN (within the same subnet and if port number is not used) I am using several servers (Linux and Windows) on my DDWRT LAN, no problem reaching them. Share a map on your laptop and see if you can connect to it with windows explorer from another client with \.68 this excludes firewall problems on your laptop. Is that not correct?ĭDWRT could be using 8080 (remote administration), try another port number. I thought port forwarding only applied to connections coming from outside the LAN. I do have UPnP enabled although from what I can find, Calibre server does not support UPnP. Or by logging in remotely and running calibre from the command line. You can try running calibre on the server using a remote desktop, and add the books that way. You need to do it through the calibre desktop application.

Netgear R7800 x3 - WDS AP / station, gateway, QoS Some dd-wrt wiki pages are up to date, others are not. I have a calibre ebook server that is accessible anywhere on my internal network (when I have Calibre running).īefore asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all. Next, I would check your port-forwarding options, try turning on UPnP on the dd-wrt router. Because both devices are on the LAN, I assume port-forwarding is not needed, but maybe that's wrong? I have also connected between these same two devices on other routers in the past, so I'm guessing it's a setting in DD-WRT. As noted, I was able to connect to this server on my laptop in the past before I switched to DD-WRT. The Lens has evolved to become a platform to bridge the cultures of scholarly research, invention, enterprise and industry. I'm running Build 26138 on a Netgear router. This is unlikely to be a firewall issue as it worked in the past (and I have the firewall turned off on the laptop while I'm trying to make this work)

The Calibre server logs show no attempted connection. If I type this same address on my iPad, it reports no connections. In the browser on my laptop, it connects to the server.

Next, you need to get your ebooks copied over to the new calibre library. Once it’s done installing, you’ll need to set up a directory for the calibre library to call home. The current desktop web based content server is almost impossible to find what I am looking for, when the previous one was absolutely perfect to navigate through. Because I really don't like the latest content server. I am running the server on my laptop which is at .68 Moving on, here’s the meat and potatoes of the whole affair. I guess I will have to look into finding one of those calibre web site generators. Before I switched to DD-WRT, I was able to access this server, which listens on port 8080 (unless you change the default setting).
