(example 10.5.5.230) it can be a network camera, a thermostat, or a alarm panel and I go directly to the unit without going to the internet. When I try to do this with the
N800 I end up online at a google search page. I would also like to know if it would be possible to access my desktop that is on the network and operate it remotely like I can with a laptop. The desktop operates the security cameras and having the ability to access them from the N800 would be ideal. Also am unable to figure out how to clear my brouser histery. Am sure I will have many more questions, I am learning as I go and have been trying ro learn as much as possible by reading as many different foruns (this is the best I have found) as I can. One other thing, I need to order screen protecters, is it worth paying the 12 bucks each for the brand name ones or get the packs from ebay where I can get 10 or 15 for 15 bucks and cut them to fit. Thanks in advance for you help, Steve
Maybe I can address part of your confusion. Unless you've changed the home page, the default home page is NOT on the internet, even though it appears to be. The home page is a local html page that is stored on your tablet. It of course looks just like the google page, but it's not on the internet, it's just on your local tablet. You should just be able to type in the url you want in your address bar and go from there.

You should be able to access your desktop via rdesktop.
