Nevermind, I just stumbled upon this in the wiki, and I'll give it a shot. Thanks to whomever wrote that wiki entry.

Disabling Wifi network validation
By default, Kindles try to verify internet connectivity when they connect to a Wireless network. This may not be desired in various circumstances, for instance when connecting to an Intranet, or to a public hotspot.
To disable the connectivity check, place a file named WIFI_NO_NET_PROBE on the USB partition.

OK. Just tested it. Works fine. Just needed to restart the Kindle for the flag to take effect.
