Quote from the Nook faq (traveling with the Nook): "You can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots that do not use proxy security settings".

You can only connect to hotspots that do not ask for authentication (like a password or code) after connecting.
For example: the London hotel I stayed in earlier this year offered free wifi. But after connecting to the network you got an login page where you had type in a special code (supplied with the room).
The Nook is not able the show an authentication page like this, so you cannot connect.

Edit because of post #7. I assume you will be able to save a WEP or WPA password in the wifi configuration of the Nook (for your home network).
