I know that the great thing about N800's is WiFi but at work, I can't use WiFi, just ethernet connection...so that's really important to me to have that option if I want....

Thanks for any and all input!

There is, as of now, no way to get a wired network connection with a N800. You might, with judicious (hah!) use of drill/dremel and superglue, get an ethernet cable into your N800, but other than ruining your Numpc, you'll have achieved nothing.

You could spend money to buy one of those portable ethernet-to-wifi routers, or get a cheap dataplan for your bluetooth-enabled phone, but that's about it.

So there...
