However, I face a peculiar issue with KT3. I'm unable to access KT3 from my PC(netbook running Ubuntu 14.04). Any pings to KT3's I.P don't succeed.

As a workaround, I open kterm on KT3 and from there, ping the PC's I.P - which works. After this, I'm able to ping/connect to KT3 from PC.

This reminds me of similar things I used to do on old PCs at my workplace.

I suppose there must a simple (or profound ) reason for this behaviour?
Strange indeed.
Please mention which Kindle firmware version that was happening on.

That was written when the PW-1 was new, but I can't think of what difference that should make.
Nor why an outgoing connection would fix it.

Note: There are variations to the specifics of that series of posts for the newer than when-written models.
But the over-all procedure is the same.
