Thanks a lot for this answer, I wonder why this fact is not covered in any of the tutorials, at least none I have found so far. Where can I get an uncrippled image, and can it be flashed without jailbreaking the device?

@twobob: sorry, but I think you totally misunderstood me, I read those posts you refer to, but I am quite sure that I got the IP address stuff right. When I talk about my "host computer", of course I refer to the virtual USB card on my Windows system connected to the kindle. The kindle's IP is fixed, as shown in the diag screen on the kindle, but I was wondering if the host needed to have a specific IP address (for the kindle to accept ssh connections from).
