Thank you! That's exactly what happened. After I changed kindle_ip and host_ip to the same subnet, it is working now.
THanks very much.

Just stay with the 192.168.2.1 address (or use something else that does _not_ clash with the LAN), and set it up on the host PC for the USB RNDIS device.
Make sure you can telnet/ssh to your Kindle to verify USB networking is working.
To allow the Kindle access the LAN or Internet via the host PC, make sure to learn about "IP Forwarding" on Windows XP and set it up. As I'm a Linux user I cannot tell a lot about it (but I know it exists, I think it's called "Internet Connection Sharing", at least it was in the Win9X days).
That does not mean, however, that your Kindle will instantly be able to reach the Internet (or LAN) via the USB network connection. You would have to set that up specifically on the Kindle, too. That part is basic Linux networking, i.e. setting up proper network routes and DNS server addresses.
Out of the box, USB networking will just do enough to provide you with a peer-to-peer IP connection.
