Yes, but....

It is posible to use VNC over bluetooth, by setting up a IP over bluetooth connection and running x11vnc on the n800.

However, you have a more fundemental problem, in that your work computer is on the corporate network, and the n800 is on the outside (internet). Unless your corporate network allows you to VNC to machines outside the corporate network, it isn't going to work.

And if they do allow it, there will be huge lag, since the packets will be taking a long way (out the corp network to the internet and back) around.

Lastly, x11vnc is not built with much security, and running it on the wide open internet is not advised (generally there is not password required).

You are probably better off getting a BT keyboard for the n800 (I have an iGo, which is OK) and doing your typing there.

I hope this helps,

Craig...
