I have recently installed SQL Server 2008 on my PC. I am using the Activity Monitor to look at our SQL Server 2005 server. In the Waits stats, it has Network I/O = 257307 cumulative wait (sec). How can I get more information about this, e.g. which queries / users / databases etc had highest wait time/ Average wait etc?

Look at I/O related DMV. Books online has details about them.

So Activity Monitor can not be used to show more detail?

Does anyone have any pointers on how to pinpoint where the network i/o wait is coming from. I've looked at a number of DMV's and Standard reports, a lot of different websites etc, but I can't seem to find how to identify source of the Wait other than vague references to client applications.
- Or how to alleviate the problem - or is it safe to ignore it?

Did you check standard reports for I/O? Also Performance monitor has counters for Network as well.
