Make sure that TightVNC Server is still running on the computer – you will be connecting to it in a moment.

Using your Telnet client (PuTTY or your app of choice), send the commands highlighted in bold below:

1. [root@kindle root]# /etc/init.d/netwatchd stop
2. [root@kindle root]# /etc/init.d/powerd stop
3. [root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.2.1:1 &

If everything proceeds correctly, your Kindle should look like this

Now you have to connect to the Kindle from the computer, and control it via Telnet.

Run the PuTTY application (or your Telnet app of choice) and set up a new connection.

Since this will be a Telnet connection, select Telnet under connection type (instead of SSH, which is the default).

You want to connect to 192.168.2.2 (which is your Kindle DX), port 23.

With those Telnet session settings in place, click Open.

You should see a welcome dialog box signaling a successful connection.

Instead, Windows will install a new device driver for it.

This process takes a moment, but does not require any intervention on your part.

Simply wait until you see ‘Ready to use’ pop up on the screen.

When that appears, it is time to configure this new connection on your PC.

In Windows 7, navigate to the Network Connections menu by opening
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections,
and locate the ‘USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget’ connection.

Right-click that connection and select Properties
then, within the properties list, scroll down to ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)’.

Open the Properties menu, select Use the following IP address, and enter 192.168.2.1 for the address and 255.255.255.0 for the netmask.

Click OK, and then click OK again to close the connection properties window.

You’re done with the Kindle, and now it is time to set things up on the PC. First, install TightVNC and run the TightVNC Server application. Next, right-click the TightVNC system tray icon, and open the Configuration menu.

Change the ‘Main server port’ to 5901, and uncheck the Require VNC authenticationoption. Click Apply or OK, and then leave TightVNC Server running.

If the e-reader is still connected to the PC, disconnect it and navigate to its home screen.

Next, show the Kindle keyboard. A prompt will appear.

Type ;debugOn and press Return.
Note the semicolon at the beginning of the command ;

Type `usbNetwork and press Return.
This command starts with a backtick. Make sure that it’s a backtick, not a single quotation mark. Once you have that, tap Del one last time.

Type ;debugOff and press Return.

Great job! Your Kindle is now ready to create a virtual network with your PC, over the USB connection. Use the USB cable to connect the Kindle to the PC.

After every Kindle Restart you need to do the above steps to activate USB Networking. This can be done automatically, but I don’t recommend it since you can broke your Kindle this way.

Now when you connect your Kindle to your PC, it will connect like Network Adapter not like USB storage.

On some devices like my Kindle 4 the command is ~usbNetwork, but I am not sure on which devices is this. Try also this command if your Kindle connects again as USB storage. It should be unidentified driver or Network adapter.

You can test which one your Kindle uses by typing ~help, `help, ;help

One of this commands will show you help box and if ~help, use ~usbNetwork

The easiest way to find it is in the Settings page/menu on your Kindle

On that page, you should find either an entry or a menu called Device Info, which will give you the serial number

If you don’t have the device on hand at the time, it is also shown on the Manage Your Kindle page of your Amazon account (in the Manage Your Devices section). If you’ve been switched to the new layout, this is now shown in the Your Devices tab of the Manage Your Content and Devices page of your Amazon account.

On early models (Kindle 1, Kindle 2 & DX), it was also physically visible on the device itself, on the back at the bottom (on the Kindle 1, it was under the back cover), and also on the packaging the devices were shipped in. The next couple of images illustrate this.
