Getting the LAN to work via the docking station was a challenge. First I connected directly from my cable modem to the docking station, and my notebook kept trying (and failing) to secure a network connection. Several reboots failed to solve the issue. However, once I connected by cable from my wireless router to the docking station, I was immediately able to connect to the network and get online.

The USB Docking Station with VGA is priced at C$135.19 (US$109.48) and is available now through Ingram Micro Canada, Tech Data Canada and D&H Canada. If you use a number of external peripherals in your home or office and you're regularly taking your notebook on the road, this docking station may be a good investment to save the hassle of reconnecting all those cables.
