I readily admit not ever having *once* set this up on a Windows box, so, yeah, that doesn't help, documentation writing wise .

Meaning I'll take anything you can point me to that looks sane and better than what's currently in the doc .
I'll write you up something sane and probably add it to the wiki. :-)

Meanwhile:
In the doc, you reference https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...22&postcount=3 as a good post for windows users. I had two problems with it: 1. the author changed the recommended IP settings, contrary to your doc (ln 82-85). And the author seemed confused about why the IP settings were set in that manner. 2. The sarcasm, while witty and amusing, was a little distracting and it may be difficult for a non-native/non-fluent English speaker to follow the instructions.

I was a special case, in that I used #bash for windows (yay for getting a sane commandline and access to unix tools in native win10!) and followed the doc and used the steps here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...USB_Networking

Thanks again for your help & I'll post steps this weekend.
