Well I've got the local connection working now - not thanks to documentation, but to my own registry-crawling.

I even realised,that to get this to work, I needed to install Apple QuickTime !! GGGrrrrr - THAT goes against my grain: Install Apple software to get Windows/Android to work ?

The really interresting part of this would be to get the Internet part working, but that seems impossible for now. The LAN part I could do just as well with a USB cable.

What am I missing ??
