OK - So your host machine is running Linux.

PORT STATE SERVICE
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds

And that address is (in the Kindle world) used by the K5-Paperwhite, not the K4.

So, by copying my own quote in the "HowTo" threads, with address pair added from the K4 README file:
Note: This presumes that you have KUAL installed along with the USBnetwork control button.)
Quote:
This order should work on all firmware versions.
Early firmwares, v-2 and v-3 may also work with the cable attached.
- un-plug cable (if still plugged in)
- toggle USBnetwork ON in the KUAL launcher
- plug the cable
- kill any automation (or configure yours to do: )
- sudo ip link set up dev usb0 (It may already be up, no harm in upping it twice)
- [for Kpw]sudo ip address add 192.168.15.201 peer 192.168.15.244 dev usb0
- [for K4] sudo ip address add 192.168.2.1 peer 192.168.2.2 dev usb0
- use the networking until your done (telnet or ssh to the 'peer' address)
- un-plug cable
- toggle USBnetwork OFF in the KUAL launcher

Note 1: You can assign **both** point-to-point link addresses to usb0 - the network stack can deal with that and the "ip" utility will take care of updating the routing tables for you.
Note 2: If you are running devices on a 192.168.x.y network which use the general routing rules, these ptp rules will be tested first. I.E: If your (something) is already using 192.168.2.2 on your local network, the packets for that address will now go to the Kindle. (that address seems popular with router and modem manufacturers)
