What message is printed to your screen if you open KUAL, select "USBNetwork" and press "USBNetwork Status"? If it's something like "USBNetwork: disabled (usbms, sshd down)", press "Toggle USBNetwork".

Thank you katadelos. My understanding from the instructions I have been following (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=272132) is that USB networking is not enabled automatically but needs to be specially installed (the link from those instructions explaining how to do so is:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kin...USB_Networking)
If I plug in my Kindle to my PC, it shows up as a mass storage device, as it always has. My understanding is that this is different from USB networking, in which the PC has to recognize the Kindle not as a mass storage device, but as a network.
When I open KUAL on my Kindle, there is no "USBNetwork" option -- there is only "KUAL," "Helper" and "Quit". "KUAL" leads me to "Sort menu ABC", "Save and reset KUAL log," and "Quit", while "Helper" leads me to "Install MR Packages."
I already installed the USB Networking package via "Install MR Packages," but there is something I need to do first to my PC in order to recognize my Kindle as a network, as per
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kin...USB_Networking ("See this site to enable NDIS based USB networking on your PC"). "this site" links to
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/NDI...er_setup_on_pc)
This is where I had the problem, as detailed my previous message.
