Why? Not only are the chances of clashing with an existing home network on that subnet MUCH higher than for the 192.168.15.x one, but it also results in the K4 requiring different network configurations in main and diags mode: in diags, it uses 15.244 - why should that be different in main?

Ah, but here we are replying to someone who did not know that USBnetworking has to be "turned on" - - PLUS I added note 2, probably while you where also posting.
Not somebody who has probably read the readme or already changed the configuration file defaults.
My post will "make it work" with the config file defaults as shipped. Which is the reason why I describe using Point-to-Point links rather than trying to route a sub-net.
Once the O.P. learns about the advanced topic of "turn it on, turn it off" -
then we can teach them to pick a better address pair. (192.168.2.x is a REALLY BAD CHOICE - I agree).
PS: Why not move these posts to a new thread?
