My 521 is unlocked with no SIM installed, with Win 8.1 preview developer edition and is connected to my wireless network.
If I type a known site such as Google or Yahoo into IE on the 521, the page display is nearly instantaneous so WiFi works just fine.

The problem is I have several devices on my network that are administered by web servers. If I type an IP address such as
192.168.0.166 to access the server it is necessary to login with a user name and a password. I can login from any computer on my network, but not with the Lumia 521. With the 521, the login page comes up and I enter the correct user/password, but it is always rejected.

I bought the Lumia 521 specifically to test login to the device servers from the Internet via Dyndns and Port forwarding is setup correctly on my router. However, when I insert a T-Mobile SIm in good standing (wiFi, off) and issue <MyDevice>.dyndns.org:8080 from Ie on the 521, the same thing happens; the login is rejected.

So, getting to the question: is there some setting I am missing or is this a bug?
