The short answer is no, at least not in any remotely easy manner. You might be able to accomplish this with a USB cross-over cable (not a standard USB cable) but you would need to put the USB port on the n800 into host mode and compile and install kernel modules on the n800 for the cross-over cable and iptables/NAT.
