I have the same problem as the linked thread ... I think.

http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=216627

I started with trying to set this up in diagnostic mode first. Had no luck so I tried the usbNetwork method. Still no joy.

I noticed NiLuje's knc1's and replies. I mention that as in the wiki, which seems to be a tutorial for diagnostics modes, settings for the host IP and the kindle IP are the following

HOST_IP=192.168.15.201
KINDLE_IP=192.168.15.244

Well I've just plucked and pasted those from my config file after I tried ~usbNetwork mode. I copied it from my kindle to my PC after entering ~usbNetwork a second time to disable it, so that I could access the kindle's storage.

So from what I've gathered so far the usbNetwork IPs are the same as the diagnostic mode USB IPs?

I'm using my Debian PC to do this. I do have a Windows 8.1 PC (for some old games) as well which I tried doing it on but I can't work out how to do the wiki's step 5 (below) on Windows. I have sorted the driver out for it though.

5.) Setup your new network interface: IP 192.168.15.201 Subnet 255.255.255.0

I was using the tutorial on Jennifer's 365 (link below) which was easy to understand until I got to "Set the IP address on your computer to the address defined under "HOST_IP" in the config file. Subnet should be 255.255.255.0. Everything else can be blank."

I've been using PCs since 1981 and GNU/Linux mostly for the last 10 years. I've softmodded stuff like game consoles (Xbox, Wii) and I'm good at following instructions but when it comes to network stuff I might as well be back in 1981 - I've never been able to get my head around most of it. Changing my router's password and setting up firewall rules is about as far as it goes.

At the start I said "I think". Reason being is I'm expecting some feedback from Putty but I see nothing. Just an empty shell. Like you can see in the screenshot. I do get some sort of feedback from the shell don't I? I can't type into it.

I tried with Debian's Remote Desktop Viewer and got the same.

The screenshot above also shows the panel's network icon saying it's requesting a wired network address for Wired connection 1. So I'm sure that the command "ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.201" has worked. Under Devices > Network Tools I selected Unknown Interface (usb0) and then Configure (to the right) and up popped a second box showing Wired connection 1.

Any help appreciated please. Spent about 8 hours on this last night and a couple today and don't want to spend much more time on it.
