Ah that is very helpful indeed. I didn't really consider such a basic
setting wouldn't be included but then I guess that is really not what the
USB connection is designed for.
I have managed to get this to work with almost your suggestion. Instead of
using Google's or my ISP DNS I instead just set this value to the BBB
itself. So:
IP: 192.168.7.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.7.2
DNS Server: 192.168.7.2
et voila.... combined with the other iptables commands I now have internet
being supplied through my beaglebone.
Now I just have to try and tinker with the USB/Ethernet settings on the BBB
to see if I can automatically set that DNS setting. Probably a tricky task,
but at least the concept works.
Thanks again to all responders. I'm really happy this is working.
