I have a Kindle 8th generation device, with WiFi but not cellular service.
I would occasionally like to use my Android phone as a hotspot, to sync the
Kindle when I don't have WiFi available. I have used the phone successfully
as a hotspot with a WiFi-only Android tablet. However, when I try this with
the Kindle, the MAC address shows up temporarily as a connected device, but
with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. After 20 seconds or so, the Kindle gives up
and displays a dialog box saying that it can't connect. On my home WiFi
system, the Kindle connects without a hitch.
What I suspect is happening is that the DHCP handshake was implemented
differently on the Kindle and the phone. The phone is a Motorola Z2 Play,
running Android 7.1.1. Does anyone have a suggestion for a work-around?
