Well, what should work already is connecting from the computer the Kindle is attached to (via SSH or telnet). At least the IP/route combination cited above indicates so.

If other computers on the (W)LAN should be able to connect to the Kindle like this:

[LAN/WLAN station (1)] ----> [USB Host PC for Kindle (2)] --USB--> [Kindle (3)]

Then the station (1) must be aware that it can reach the Kindle via station (2). More than one way to make that work:
a) A corresponding route on station(1)
b) Port forwarding on station (2), other stations like (1) will then connect to (2) which forwards to (3).
c) ARP proxying on station (2), will possibly need different route combination on (1) nevertheless

In addition, the station (2) must do IP forwarding and masquerading (NAT).


The way
[Kindle (1)] --USB--> [USB Host PC for Kindle (2)] ----> [LAN/Wifi router] -> Internet

also needs IP forwarding and masquerading on (2), and a properly set route on (1). That's what most discussion at the start of the thread was about.

However, while this way looks like it is fit for using the Browser on the Kindle, that wouldn't work. That's because of the 3G / "online test" behaviour I tried to explain in my contributions above.
