You can do this is with USB using Windows XP (not Vista/7) or Fedora (painful on other distros).

USB networking

Make sure you have the wonderful PC Connectivity Manager installed on the tablet.

* Main Menu>Settings>Control Panel>PC Connectivity Manager

o Advanced>

+ Select Environments [...] and New and input USB

o Select USB Network>Options>drop-down next to Mass Storage change to Network

o Default values here will work, should be:

+ IP adress 192.168.2.15

+ Gateway 129.68.2.14

+ Network Mask: 255.255.255.0

o Save>Apply

Fedora

* System>Administration>Network>(Input root password)

o >New>Ethernet connection>Forward>Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget (usb0)

o >Forward>Select Statically set IP addresses>

+ Address: 192.168.2.14

+ Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

+ Default gateway address: 192.168.2.14

+ Primary DNS: 209.18.47.61 (or 4.2.2.2 or whatever DNS server you like)

+ Secondary DNS: 209.18.47.62

o >Forward>Apply

NetworkManager should now successfully connect to it (initially networkmanager should have seen the USB connection but fail at connecting)

From the tablet ping 192.168.2.14 if that works, then it's time to let the tablet open to the Internet

* System>Administration>Firewall>(Input root password)>

o Hit OK to warning dialog (actually it says Close)>Trusted Interfaces>

o Check usb0>Apply

Now you should be able to ping google.com from the tablet. If google.com can't be pinged try 4.2.2.2 to see if you picked a faulty DNS server.

Windows XP
* Download and install the RNDIS driver from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device...DIS/rndis.mspx

*Then a new network card with this name will become visible afterwards, which you can configure normally.

o Set the IP address to 192.168.2.14.

o Activate ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your network adapter to share the outside world with your N810.
