I can see in the K4NT that it registered the network ssid and ip address correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to sort it out.
FWIW, I am trying to make a yacht instrument display that I can read in bright sunlight. My approach is to read in NMEA data and then construct a PNG file in memory for direct display on the K4NT. The PNG part is working well with random data and updates fast enough to do what it needs to do on the yacht. If I can get the wifi input to work I should be OK. I am using Python (for the first time) and my Python skills are next to nothing. Mostly I am just copying and pasting other peoples ideas.
So I am very interested in your 'DNS server' to fool the Kindle into thinking it has a validated connection. I am really hoping that you can post some code on how your server works.

I still have a bit more hacking to do, I can get it working for about 15 to 20 min then the WIFI drops out so I haven't captured everything yet, I will post my workings to date when I get a chance, I didn't take very good notes so it should be fun..... It is good to see that I am not the only one wanting to do something like this.
