Dear all,

I can't get ssh/telnet access to Kindle 3 over WiFi - I'm trying to figure out the reason since last few hrs. but no joy so far. I can do ssh/telnet over USB though, but only if I set the IP address of RNDIS/Ethernet device as: 192.168.2.1 and access the Kindle using 192.168.2.2 - it doesn't work at all for any other IP address over USB.

Is it always the case that the IP must be 192.168.2.2 to get the shell access?

For the WiFi access, I followed this tutorial (I'm on Mac and Linux though):

but I can't even ping the Kindle when it's connected via WiFi. Dose any one know what am I missing? Or does anyone see the similar thing? Any help/suggestion(s) would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!!
