Do this first:
1. open a cmd window on your PC (dos prompt)
2. type "ping google.com", note the IP address
3. telnet onto the kindle
4. on your kindle type "ping <ip from step 2>" e.g. "ping 74.125.45.100"
5. if it is successful then your kindle can access the internet
6. if not, then type this "netstat -r" first afterward "ifconfig -a"
then on your PC cmd window type "ipconfig /all" and post all the results
7. Carefully... reread this entire thread twice
Post whether you are successful or not and we'll proceed from there.

Oh, thanks to the "chmod +x usbnet" command (if I don't understand wrongly, that command is to make the usbnet file executable), I managed to get it to autostart now. Cool, thank you, imode. I got lots to learn about unix; this is my first time toying around with linux shell.
On the other note, it's still unsuccessful. I tried everything that I could but still can't seem to make Kindle to ping google.com or its IP that I got from pinging from my PC's cmd prompt. Here is the result of netstat and ifconfig:

And here is the "ipconfig /all" info from my PC (I blank out the MAC address of my PC; don't think that would be needed):

If it's of any help, I put in the usbnetwork script as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Teweak these to match your setup
HOST_IP=192.168.1.103
KINDLE_IP=192.168.1.104
U=/mnt/us
R=$U/usbnet
# Check if we already have ethernet gadget driver running
lsmod | grep g_ether > /dev/null && exit 2
# Unload mass storage gadget and load ethernet one
rmmod g_file_storage || exit 1
modprobe g_ether host_addr='EE4900000000' dev_addr='EE1900000000' || exit 1
ifconfig usb0 ${KINDLE_IP} || exit 1
route add default gw ${HOST_IP}
# start telnet & ssh daemons
$R/busybox telnetd
$R/dropbear
exit 0
Thanks so much for your helpfulness, imode.
