Hi All...

For some time now, I've used the ethernet over USB feature to get updates 
on my BeagleBone black. This has never  been reliable, but now it just 
never works.  I have followed through (I think!) the instructions in Derek 
Molloy's Exploring BeagleBone with no luck.  From the BBB, I can:

ping 192.168.7.1 (~0.4ms)
but cannot:
ping 8.8.8.8 (waits for response but never gets one)

>From the Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) I can 
ping 192.168.7.2 (~0.4ms)
ping 8.8.8.8 (~30ms)
ping 192.168.1.1 (between 4 and 40ms)  (this is the household Cisco router)

I have run the following commands:
sudo iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface enxc8fd19c63830 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wl01 -j 
MASQUERADE

and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward  (all that I can see as a result is 
that the file ip_forward contains "1")


if I try to check what is in the iptables, I see...

pmi-bu-ubuntu@PMI-BU-Ubuntu:/proc/sys/net/ipv4$ sudo iptables -S
[sudo] password for pmi-bu-ubuntu: 
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-N DOCKER
-N DOCKER-ISOLATION
-A FORWARD -j DOCKER-ISOLATION
-A FORWARD -o docker0 -j DOCKER
-A FORWARD -o docker0 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i docker0 ! -o docker0 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i docker0 -o docker0 -j ACCEPT
-A DOCKER-ISOLATION -j RETURN

If I run the following in the PC:

sudo tcpdump ip proto \\icmp

I can see a successful ping to 8.8.8.8 from the PC as:

11:52:41.538173 IP 192.*XXX*.X.XXX > google-public-dns-a.google.com: ICMP 
echo request, id 6724, seq 1, length 64

11:52:41.562409 IP google-public-dns-a.google.com > 192.XXX.X.XXX: ICMP 
echo reply, id 6724, seq 1, length 64

and ifconfig  on the PC produces:

Finally, this is:
BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-05-14

So my questions would be:
1. Does it look like my problem is in the PC or the BeagleBone?  If it's 
unclear, is there a method to find out?
2. Does it look like my requested changes to the IPtable are going into 
effect?  If it's unclear, is there a better method to tell?
3. It looks like the PC is simply forwarding on the ping request with no 
change to the IP address.  I would have thought that the PC would have 
changed the IP address to find one that isn't being used (I thought that is 
what masquerade was for).  Is there something I am doing wrong that is 
preventing this?

Any other advice would also be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance,
Alan
