hii...This is not the fault of your kindle but the type of network you use to connect. I think you are using a network with proxy support...and such function is not supported in kindle.So if you want to have an internet access either root your device or download opera mini for android at least you will be able to browse the net. However if you can change your router and get one without such security setting(in this case proxy) your kindle will work perfectly.
