Can't install RNDIS on W7? Not even Windows Mobile.

[n4ru]

I've been trying to SSH into my Kindle for several hours now with various methods. I installed usbNetwork.0.11, the DXi version (as I have the DXi). Windows 7 does not recognize the drivers, so I DL'd Windows Mobile drivers. Those did not work either as it does not detect my Kindle. In addition to this, EVERY TIME I UNPLUG MY KINDLE MY WIRELESS GOES DOWN. Regardless of the mode my Kindle is in, even if I uninstall usbNetwork and plug it in, or (as of now) any other external device or drive, my net connection goes down and I have to use W7' troubleshoot problems to fix it. This started immediately after I installed usbNetwork. Could someone point me in the right direction of where I can fix my problem and get RNDIS drivers that work?

"This INF does not support this method of installation."

Hi,

windows mobile center driver didn't work for me either.
But I found an other solution, happily xerox provides a RNDIS driver to service their copy machines, it's called xerox service port.
download NDIS Driver Xerox
it's a selfextracting exe, extract and and instert kindle usb cable,
when it ask for driver point to XeroxServicePort.inf in xp/vista driver
config network adapter ip4 settings to ip:192.168.2.1 subnet:255.255.255.0
afterwards telnet (eg. putty) to 192.168.2.2
here it goes

sometimes it stucks and the adapter is deactivated and does't get activated again,
since it's windows reboots helps

Thank you very much. I looked around the web for ages until I came across this which worked first time with my Kindle 3

Here is another simpler solution:

(worked for me on Windows 7 32 bit, hope it helps you)

Dude, go to your device manager.
Find the Device with the little ? and then maybe a yellow !.
Right click that device and select Update Driver.
When the window pops up (on Windows 7 32bit), select, Browse My Computer for driver software, then on the next screen, click on the bottom that says, LET ME PICK.
Then it will ask you the device type.
Here you go down to Network Adapters.
Then when it asks you to select manufacturer, skip Microsoft and select Microsoft Corporation.
Then, select Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
Hit next, it will say it's not safe, etc etc, proceed to install it.

You should be set. I hope that helps.

I like that. Use the built-in non-default Microsoft RNDIS driver. I did not know that it had one.
