[everyday_kindle]

My K3G (3G+wifi, FW 3.1) was jailbroken yesterday. Subsequently I installed the usbnetwork hack. The process went through ok. However, I am not able to ping the kindle.

The PC is running XP. After installing the hack on k3g, I edited the usbnetwork/etc/config, in which kindle_ip=192.168.2.2 and host_ip=192.168.1.18.

My understanding is host_ip refers to the usb interface on the PC side. At the same time my PC is connecting to internet through its ethernet card (192.168.1.14).

The next thing I did was to restart k3g and executing ;debugOn and ~usbNetwork commands before connecting to the PC. Immediately the PC detected the new device and prompted me for RNDIS driver. ok, I directed the search to one I used with android. It picked it up and stated the driver was installed successfully.

At the DOS prompt, I typed "ipconfig". I can see both interfaces (ethernet and usb) while the usb one didn't have an ip address. I unpluged the ethernet cable to make it simple. Next I went into control panel (xp), network connections, assigned the ip address to the usb interface:
ip: 192.168.1.18, netmask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.1

At the DOS prompt, I can see the IP (of PC). When I ping 192.168.2.2 (k3g), it didn't go through.

What might have gone wrong? Please help!
