Thanks for the reply hawhill - what you've suggested might be a bit beyond me. I'm not sure.

I wasn't sure which forum it should go in.

When I make a longish thread I type it up in a txt file first. I made the following before seeing your reply.

I just tried again in diagnostic usb mode.

I think my silver 4NT does have the usb diagnostic mode. Number 4 in the wiki has the following:
usb networking: Misc individual diagnostics -> Utilities -> Enable USBnet -> Exit

I do all but Exit, so:
usb networking: Misc individual diagnostics -> Utilities -> Enable USBnet

For which I get a screen which is basically divided into 3 sections. The top section includes stuff like ipAddress and netMask. The second section has Press X to continue and PASS whilst the other section has (X) Exit - FW Right to exit*

If I do Exit after Enable USBnet I'm taken back to Enable USBnet

*Afraid to look a fool but does this mean I can use either FW Right or just select the middle button in the FWay to achieve the same result?, that is to Exit.

I seem to be getting the same thing though. Under Unknown Interface (usb0) when I select configure I see there's now another entry - "Auto Ethernet".

Here's a similar screenshot to above but this is in diagnostic usb mode. Putty gives me the same result as well - just empty apart from the cursor and it's not possible to type into.

usb networking: Misc individual diagnostics -> Utilities -> Enable USBnet -> Exit.

By the way - can I just use Gnome's terminal to ssh? If so how do I do that? I know I have openssh-client on my Debian box. What command do I use to start it in the terminal?

Thanks again for looking.

If this doesn't work I might as well remove the jailbreak. I did burn a CD-R with Kubrick before starting all this but is there a de-jailbreaker rather than a de-bricker?
