After a lot of reconfiguration and rebooting, I still had the problem. I decided that I'd box the whole thing back up and carry it down to CompUSA for a replacement this morning.

On the way, I stopped by a Starbucks for a coffee, and pulled out my N800 to see if it would work with the T-Mobile Hotspot there. Sigh... it worked fine.

So, back in the car to home, have another look at my access point configs.

In looking at my main access point, I noticed that I had configured a gateway address (192.168.1.xxx) outside the subnet of the access point itself (192.168.2.xxx). Just as a random chance, I set the gateway address in the same subnet.

It worked first time! No problems at all.

So, all I can figure is that the TCP stack in the N800 really doesn't want anything out of the ordinary. I find the whole thing a little humorous, as I use Linux on all my other computers in the house and they work fine.

Hope this helps someone. I realize that going to the management in a hotel and requesting they reconfigure their access points is unlikely to happen, but for those of you who are having the "Network Problem" issue at home, maybe this will help.

I'm glad to finally be a member of the N800 community. Now to start slamming in those 4Gb flash cards!!
