The trick is creating a network route to the USB gadget. If you are familiar with a unix style command line, the tools are there to mount the 192.168.7.x network in the Chrome OS terminal. I am travelling and don't have access to my BBB, but I'll try later when I have physical access, rather than over a VPN. Chrome OS should automatically mount the USB device (BBB) as a network device, just as it would a USB-LAN adapter or USB-wireless device. Chrome OS has to see a dhcp server on the 192.168.7.x network of the connection will fail unless you explicitly mount the BBB on a static Chrome OS address. At that point, you might as well just use the built in BBB ethernet adapter.
You will have exactly the same problem in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10; there has to be a route to the 192.168.7.x subnet. Either you need a router on that subnet or you need to specify a route explicitly.
