Use usb port to access internet via ethernet cable?

I travel overseas frequently, but prefer not to take my laptop. My 6800 typically provides all the computing, e-mail access and voip functions I need.

However, at many overseas hotels, wireless internet access is non-existent, or very spotty. Often the only web access is via a wired ethernet RJ45 connector. Is there a way to use the 6800's mini USB port to access the web through that RJ45 cable?

I have the necessary adapters and hardware to make the connections...but since it doesn't work, I'm obviously missing a software component.

Help?
