Bricked K4 with USBNetwork Hack

After having succesfully used my jailbroken Kindle4 (NT) with the Screensaver Hack for some time, I wanted to activate SSH over WiFi today so that I do not need to enter diag mode for SSH access anymore.

For that I downloaded and installed the new K4 jailbreak https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...chmentid=92466. This worked well.

After that I downloaded the file kindle-usbnetwork-0.40.N.zip linked on the first page of this post. From inside this ZIP file I extracted update_usbnetwork_0.40.N_k4_install.bin to the Kindle and did an update (Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update). The install went fine (D:\usbnet\usbnetwork_install.log said "Success").
I next renamed D:\usbnet\DISABLE_auto to D:\usbnet\auto und rebooted.

Now I am stuck at the Screen "USB Drive Mode" but cannot connect to the kindle via SSH (ssh on 192.168.2.2 with putty gets me a "Network error: connection timed out").

Can anyone PLEASE help me? What shall I do???

PS: What I do not understand is, that in the device manager (Win7) my Kindle shows up as "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" as soon as I connect the USB cable (as it did when I entered the Diag Mode and activated USBNetwork before I installed the USBNetwork hack). However I cannot connect to 192.168.2.2! I did not touch the D:\usbnet\etc\config file! The default IP is 192.168.2.2, right?
