KNC1, thanks for your help. I followed the instructions which told me to do a netsh int ip set address "*name of connection given by Windows*" static 192.168.15.201 255.255.255.0 - which I did.

MiLuJe, thanks also. I got this device second hand, and I don't know how old it is. I'm sorry but I don't understand your assumption. I followed the instructions at the URL I gave under the heading "SSH (on diags, potentially deprecated)". Steps 1 thru 5 seemed to work as expected. It failed at the second step 1 (!). The Wiki says this option was disabled from fall 2012. Since I don't know the age of the Kindle, I thought I would try it. It doesn't seem disabled - the option is present in the menu system, and my PC detects the network device. Does that tell you anything which might enable you to help me further?

Thanks,
Chris
