I am now still confused. Sorry for being a total noob. But, could you please answer my following 2 questions.

1> When you guys refered "host ip", you meant the new "RNDIS" connection, not the PC's original wireless connection IP. Is this right?

2> OK. So now today I am testing my Kindle with another winxp machine using the following steps

a> I checked my winxp machine's wireless connection ip is 10.208.180.206 and subnet is 255.255.240.0
b> I opened kindle/usbnet/etc/config file and the host_ip is 192.168.15.1 and the kindle_ip is 192.168.15.201 I didnt change it and closed it. Add "ENABLE_DIAGS" file.
c> restart kindle. go to "Enable USBnet" (I see kindle's ip is 192.168.15.244 here).
d> after XP found the new device, I installed the driver. Now the name of the new device is "Acme USB Remote NDIS Network Device".
e> I set the ip address of the new device to 192.168.15.201 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
f> I go to putty. Try to connect 192.168.15.244.
g> I got a "network error, connection refused"

g.1> then I tried to putty 192.168.15.201. I got same error.
g.2> then I tried to putty 192.168.15.1. I got Connection timed out.

Could anyone tell me if I did it correctly and what did I do wrong here????? Please...
