(Originally on NetworkEngineering, but I was redirected here.)

I have a laptop connected to a Wi-Fi network, which shares its Wi-Fi network over an Ethernet cable to another router. That router then connects to my Kindle Fire. I have an SSH server running on that Kindle Fire on port 22.

Is there any way I can connect to that Kindle Fire FROM the Laptop?

If needed, the laptop is running Debian, so it's not really ICS but rather bridging.

Wi-Fi: Linksys

         \----'

           \__.

              v

              v
         Kindle Fire

  • Can you ping the server from your laptop? If you are running a bridge between the two interfaces there is no reason why this shouldn't work.

  • it is bridging. You should be able to - what's the ip address of the laptop?

  • hm. ,I think I meant the kindle and the laptop, my bad, and the internal ip address. Your network config is confusing enough a diagram might help ;p
