The USB network device is a separate network connection that is completely independent of your PC wireless network.

The USB network whould have a device name that includes RNDIS. Each network device needs to be on a different IP subnet. 192.168.15.x is the IP network for you kindle and for the host PC RNDIS device. Some posts and documents suggest using 192.168.15.1 for the host PC, which is not recommended (even though it should work okay) because some of the kindle diagnostics require the host PC to be 192.168.15.201 and using anything else will just cause conflicting advice and unneeded confusion.

The kindle side of the connection is 192.168.15.244, and the PC side should be 192.168.15.201.

Do not change the IP address of your PC wireless connection.
