Correct on these points.  Just because you have the ethernet extensions
installed, I don't think that means you'll see ethernet as an option when
you're not docked, BUT...  it's an easy enough experiment to do.  Just try
it.  And yes, a monitor & keyboard/mouse is going to be the quickest thing.
The normal thing to do in setting up a "headless" computer is to set it up
with monitor, etc., and configure it.  Only then do you remove the monitor,
etc.

Ummm...  And exactly how does one access the keyboard when the Duo is in the
dock??
