Hi,

I am trying to connect to my brand new kindle 4 (Fw 4.1.0) using SSH on both WIndows and Linux, but SSH keeps giving me a "connection refused" errror message.

My host is set to 192.168.15.1, my kindle is in USB networking mode on 192.168.15.244, and I can easily ping that device. But SSH keeps telling me it cannot connect.

Why? What am I missing?
