The page doesn't change, no message pops up about it being in Airplane Mode, the title bar doesn't change to say anything. Does it take a long time to work and I'm just not patient? I've waited until the screen times out and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.
I and others had the same problem with our PW2 kindles -- we do not know why. It worked fine for many other people. There is an older method involving an external webserver that I was unable to try because I did not firewall my LAN to protect from an OTA update and it bit me right away when I joined the network. However, the PW2 is a special case that can use an older and simpler jailbreak method.

In your case, did you see the NEW universal jailbreak? You should try that instead of the old 5.6.5 jailbreak your description seems to imply.

EDIT: Shazam! knc1 beat me in submitting his post by mere SECONDS! But yeah, pretty much the same answer. Use the NEW jailbreak, not the old obsolete one that uses the web browser. Hint: see the new "Jailbreak Index" sticky thread.
