Actually what I had to do follows for Internet access. Took some trial and
error.
Out of the box the IP addresses 192.168.7.x are only good between two
devices.
Example a Laptop and the BBB.
If you want Internet access to do updates or whatever do the following
In /etc/network/interfaces make the following changes
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.137.2 <=== 137 was used because Windows insisted on
it to do WiFi sharing 7 no go
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 192.168.137.0 <=== 137 was 7 originally
gateway 192.168.137.1 <=== What Windows assigned to the adapter in
Windows-10 19.09 64-bit home
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 <=== Point to nameserver
post-up route add default gw 192.168.137.1 <== Add default gateway.
Auto up.
debian@beaglebone:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
default 192.168.137.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
usb0 <== Updated automatic entry
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 usb0
192.168.6.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 usb1
debian@beaglebone:~$
On the Windows side make sure the Network connection for the BBB or
Ethernet 2
that the TCP/IP V4 setting is set to the 137 address from above. Save it
then bring
up the WiFi settings / Properties / Sharing and allow sharing and choose
either BBB
or Ethernet 2. Whichever is the new one added. Save it and exit.
Do a clean startup of the P.C. and the BBB.
It should work fine.
