I've been having issues connecting to the outside network and I have 
absolutely no clue why...

There was no issues in installing the drivers and accessing my browser at 
http://192.168.7.2 
Also there was no issues to ssh into the root


The BBB is running the latest upgrade: 

root@beaglebone:~# uname -a

Linux beaglebone 3.8.13 #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 09:09:32 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux


In the Mac OSX (running ver. 10.9.5) I went into System Preferences > 
Sharing > Allowed Internet Sharing (via WIFI) for the BeagleBone Black

Also, I disabled the Firewall by going into System Preferences > Security & 
Privacy > Firewall > Turn off Firewall


I turned on the gatewaying in order to forward traffic onto the BBB by 
doing the following on the OS X terminal:

sudo su

ifconfig en3 192.168.7.1 (where en3 is the BBB's interface)

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.enable=1

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

natd -interface en0 (where en0 is the interface for the Mac's Internet 
connection)

ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via en0


I followed some instruction found in this forum by modifing the 
/usr/bin/g-ether-load.sh script which sets up the USB Ethernet connection. 
I added the following 2 lines of codes to the bottom of the script file.
/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Yet, for some reason I still cannot reach the outside network on the BBB:

root@beaglebone:~# ping 8.8.8.8

connect: Network is unreachable

root@beaglebone:~# ping www.google.com

ping: unknown host www.google.com


Below is the information of the network and the IP routing table when 
running ifconfig and route on the BBB

After getting tired of having the same problem over and over I went on my 
friends computer (running Windows 7) and followed the instructions found in 
this tutorial and had no problems connecting the first try...

I'm assuming that there's an issue with the Mac internet sharing... 

What am I doing wrong? Any input would be appreciated.. 


Thanks!!
