Hmm...
"my computer is on wifi"
So put your K2 on wifi (IIRC, that is in the settings menu(s) ).
or
Install USBnetworking, connect over the USB cable to your computer.
(The DX/DXG (large screen K2) where the only 3G only models.)

Decide if you want the Kindle to be on external power, (it can then run without going to sleep), or
If you want it to be able to go to sleep.

Before we go too far - set some basics:
If your going to run the server on the Kindle ...
What time source (Kindle's clock or external time network)?
If the Kindle's clock, how often should it be corrected from the external time network?
Do you want to do it without a html server?

What should the output look like?
Hint: go to clocktab.com - diddle the top (hidden until you hover over it) tool bar, set the options to the closest you want the display to look like . . . . .
Then post us your choice of options, so we can do the same and actually see what you have in mind.

Have you read through the other "HowTo" threads on using a kindle as a display (weather or whatever)?
