You cannot have any OTHER network device using that subnet at the same time, or it will interfere with the USBnet connection. For example, you can only plug in ONE kindle at a time that uses that subnet.
My computer's IP is 192.168.1.109, and if I do ;711 on my kindle, it shows the device IP as 192.168.1.159
