I'm not a fan of Google Groups mostly because it's bloated and slow.  But 
when I joined the Pocket Beagle group I opted for digests of 25 messages by 
email.  I see threads in the digests I can't find in the page at 
https://beagleboard.org/discuss#board_forum_embed where I am now.  I 
vaguely remember from years ago thinking Google Groups was just a frontend 
for usenet.  Now I'm not sure what it is.  I don't have a usenet account at 
the moment so I can't check.  Is this going out over usenet and some people 
are posting from usenet?

Anyway, since I don't see a way to respond otherwise to the "Blue screen 
when sharing Win7 internet connection via usb with pocket beagle 
<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/eow9u5cr92eo/#m_3635515852558403633_group_thread_6>"
 
thread: I've seen plenty of blue screens, usually something like a bad 
driver.  I made a living keeping Windows running.  It's a little like a 
kernel panic.  Sometimes snapping a picture with a camera helps figure it 
out later.  Usually the last 1/3 or so of the screen is most relevant if I 
remember right.

Windows connection sharing I didn't care much for because like tethering 
from a Android phone the device doing the sharing becomes the DHCP server.  
If the upstream network goes away so does the local network, suddenly you 
can't see local peers.  OK in a pinch or if you're visiting somebody but 
not very reliable.  I went to static IPs and used a program called Wingate, 
not sure if it's still around.  That was 20 years or so ago.
