Ah, but recently, there have been an increasing number of "Linux Newbie" questions, better served if we had a forum by that title.

You did see the "grin" smiley right? That "watch it" comment was meant in friendly jest.

I agree about a newbie forum, but we just know that they would cross post stuff here too, because this is where all the "good stuff" is, and google would direct them here instead of their own "play pen" forum, right?

Kindle:

route add default gw 192.168.1.15
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

This is all untested (I don't even even the Kindle here), but that's the idea. I'll test it when I get home (and possibly update this post if I got something wrong).

Well, I did what ixtab said. I connected to the kindle with ssh and when I did ping 10.0.0.3, my dns server replied. That's good. BUT, when I go to open the experimental browser in the Kindle, it tries to turn on de Wifi.
How do I disable the wifi to surf with the usb connection, using the experimental browser.
Thanks so much to all of you, and once again sorry for my english,
I am from Cuba, maybe with two weeks on USA I could master the eglish.

That question will take a bit of time to answer.

The starting of the Wifi by the browser is somewhere in the browser or browser control files - all Amazon stuff.

It is not "normal" system behavior, somebody at Amazon just trying to be overly helpful - a "normal" browser behavior would be to give an "unable to connect" message.
