That means the numbers in each all 1 fields (255) must be the same at each end of the connection.

I can see RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget connected in Mac's network preferences (screenshot below).
It's configured to IP 192.168.2.1
That is the Mac end of the connection's address.

It's installed and seems to work up until `ssh root@192.168.15.244` or `telnet 192.168.15.244`
That is the Kindle end of the connection's address.

Can you see the problem now?

Hint:
255.255.255.0
192.168.2.1
192.168.15.244
knc1, thanks for helping me understand what the subnet mask is for. I changed the Mac's connection IP to 192.168.15.245, so that both IPs now have the first 3 fields in common (192.168.15). Now it's working! Both the ssh and telnet commands work now. Much appreciated.
