Twobob, thankyou for your help with this, after much hacking I have managed to get it to work.

To get it working I set up a DSN server to redirect the traffic from the kindle to IP address for my access point. The address from the address from the kindle was "dogvgb9ujhybx.cloudfront.net" which basically ends up pointing at "spectrum.s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-wifi/wifistub.html".

I then copied the wifistub.html page and had a pyton script serve it up when requested by the kindle.

it then attempted to go to amazon.com which I also redirected with the DNS server.

I didn't mention before what I am actually up to, well I am using a Raspberry Pi to broadcast the data from my GPS as a web page and am then using the Kindle as a screen to view it. The inspiration and most of the python script came from http://www.holdentechnology.com/comp...h-nook-display.

So thanks again.
