Second, it's possible that the sleep update doesn't work the same as the Update Your Firmware, but I doubt it.

After you copy the .bin file, go to Menu, settings, and then hit Menu AGAIN and you should have the option available.

Thank you so much for that tip!
Not only is it much faster than using the power switch it also is an indication of corrupts .bin files.
When I re-downloaded it and copied the unmodified one on, it recognised it and enabled the "Update Your Kindle" option. And then it worked without errors/problems.

When I tried it with the bin that I had been using, it didn't show that option.
I can now connect to the Kindle using telnet (since I don't know what good I can do there, I'll probably better stay away from that though)
Just forgot what a PIA setting up network sharing in XP is, so no test yet as far as going online with it.
Still, thanks for the help with this first part!
