Ah, yes, that helped.

And after putting "nameserver DNS_IP" combinations in /etc/resolv.conf it also resolved domain names.

Other thing I did was set USE_WAN in "/opt/amazon/ebook/config/framework.mario.conf" to false.

Because my Kindle DX wasn't registered yet, it didn't have /var/local/java/prefs/reginfo yet
From this site I inderstood that the structure is like this:

Code:
<text>
        <user_device_name>Kindle Name</user_device_name>
        <name>username@mail.com</name>
        <alias>Kindle mail without the @kindle.com part</alias>
</text>
user_device_name = the name of the Kindle as shown by Amazon
name = my Amazon username
alias = the kindle mail address without the @kindle.com part

After creating that file the Kindle DX shows the Kindle name and the Settings and Device Information page shows the info.

Still, it looks as if the info in reginfo as shown here isn't complete. When trying to buy a book it still says that it isn't registered yet.
Even though the info matches the info for the Kindle as shown on http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle

Could someone with a properly registered Kindle have a look at the /var/local/java/prefs/reginfo to see if there is any info missing here?

One thing that I find strange is that I haven't added my password anywhere nor am I asked for my password when the Kindle tries to buy/register/deregister.
