Could you help me to configure usbnetwork PW3 to work with Mac OS X 10.11.5

I have already installed and make work subnetwork on PW3 but on the other side (Mac) can't make it work, I add to networks a RNDIS/Ethernet manual connect IPv4: 192.168.15.1 but do I need to make something else, tried turning on and off my mac wifi, also activating share ssh network and also share internet from wifi to RNDIS/Ethernet but ssh command and telnet 192.168.15.244 doesn't connect to my PW3

Thank you very much for your help

There is a thread with post on that specific question.

Our forum's index page -
Near last, top, blue bar -
Find 'prefix' dropdown box -
Select 'Tutorial' -
To the right, find click box "show threads" -
Click it.

At least I think it was prefixed as 'Tutorial' - if not you'll have to search for it (it most likely has 'Mac' in the title).

I vaguely remember even posting screenshots of OS X's network settings thingy at one point...

I think that tutorial thread is indeed the one where the author included pictures.
If not, then there are more than one of them around here (which is very possible also).

If you mean the tutorial for the serial jailbreak, yes there are pictures.

I found one you post Mac OSX settings with one image but that has another manual IP and I dont know the other IPto get kindle, I know from another tutorial you posted that yo need to know the "2 ends" of usb cable one is the computer IP and another one is for accessing Kindle (PW3 in my case)...

On your USB cable, the big end fits into the computer and the little end fits into the kindle.
He is saying make sure you have the proper cable. And yes, there are people that don't realize the ends need to be different.
You must make sure it is a data cable and not just a charge cable.
The way to test this is if your computer doesn't acknowledge the device after 2 tries, find a different cable.
I have forgotten if plugging into the device first or plugging into the computer first works better.

The Kindle end is set in the configuration file that was installed on the Kindle when you installed USBnetworking.

The PC end is set as shown in the picture.

If you want to access the PC (from a program) - use the PC's address
If you want to access the Kindle (from a program) - use the Kindle's address.
Same cable, two ends, two devices (one at each end of the cable), two addresses, one for each end of the cable.

Can I assume that is the Mac Address or do you need the IP address from your provider?

I may be answering the wrong question.

I thought the person wanted to access the Kindle from their Mac PC over the USB networking cable.

If they want to access the Kindle from the Public Internet through their PC - then that is a much different set of answers.

I was asking about the kindle address.

It is preset in the configuration file that is installed with USBnetworking.

I think NiLuJe defaults the configuration file the same on all models now - 192.168.15.244

The only reason to change that is if you have that address already assigned on your local network.

BIG NOTE:
It does not matter if your local network is 192.168.something-else.x
Your PC's networking and routing can deal with more than a single network range at the same time. (Yes, even on Windows.)

Hmm....
Typically, 16 of them, new devices probably 32 or more.

My ISP said not to stream and download to more than 10 at a time because the speed will slow down.

Over Wifi?

The poster needs to get USB networking operating over the USB cable FIRST -
When everything is working that way, it is simple (with the KUAL menu that USB networking installs) to enable ssh over Wifi.

Note:
Public key authorization is the recommended setup.

You were talking networks. I was thinking modem on one network.
My bad.
