Kindle PW3 with USB networking enabled cannot telnet to MacOS

tjnkys · 09-13-2016, 10:44 PM

Hi all,

I have a Kindle PW 3 with USB networking enabled. I'm able to ssh into the device from my Mac(10.11.6). By the way, I set my IP to 192.168.15.200 on my Mac. I have a server running on my mac on port 8080. I tried to ssh into the kindle and do "telnet 192.168.15.200 8080" and getting no response. Same thing for port 22. It seems the network cannot be routed to my Mac for some reason.

I also tried to setup the same on a ubuntu machine and I can have my Kindle telnet to the ports on my Ubuntu.

Any ideas why it doesn't work on MacOS?

Thanks!

Try opening kterm on pw3 and then telnetting through wi-fi from pw3 to mac.

Check your network firewall settings on all devices.

Next post, give more specific information than: "Does not work".

Include what action you take, and what the result is - quote any messages received.

You have to write that all down, since we can not see over your shoulder.

Does it work locally (from Mac)?
Idea: It's a firewall on Mac.

We need what you entered and the resultant messages because I don't see a telnet client in the USBnetworking package.
