Hi,

I'm having the same problem -- 401 Unauthorized error.

I'm very sure my server is running, on the same port I'm trying to access and that port forwarding is not an issue. It appears that the browser in the Nook WiFi does not allow for authentication by the method that Calibre server uses.

Questions:

1. Is there any way to change the authentication method?
2. Is there any way to run the server naked (unauthenticated)?

Lastly, the authentication dropdown lists the server username. This should be considered a bug as it greatly diminishes server security.

Love the product, much respect.
