You're correct. The .1 was a typo. D'OH. I am indeed ssh-ing into .2 ...

ssh user@192.168.7.2

That is the BBB's default IP from the factory of course. I have literally 
been Googling all day and have tried a myriad of GUI and command line 
methods and none of them work. Everything I find is going in the wrong 
direction, it wants to share a wired ethernet connection to the internet 
over WiFi... basically turning the laptop into a hotspot. I just want to 
share my WiFi connection (which is my connection to the internet) with my 
BBB which is connected via USB.

I do not think this is correct. The laptop should be *.1, and the gateway.
So effectively, you're telling the beaglebone to be it's own gateway.  In
other words.

Laptop: 192.168.7.1
Beaglebone: 192.168.7.2

So technically it does not matter which device gets what IP, but it looks
like you have your system ip addresses confused. Which is why it's usually
a good idea to have the "Server" be *.1.

[beagleboard] Sharing WiFi connection with BBB using Debian

[shewhorn]

I posted something yesterday but it seems to have vanished. I've run into 
this difficult before where none of the instructions or tutorials for 
getting internet connectivity via ethernet over USB work. Someone MUST have 
solved this. I'm running Debian Stretch/testing on my laptop. As far as the 
network manager goes, I don't think it's much different than Jessie 
(although I could be wrong). Here's specifically what I'm trying to do...

I have a laptop with a WiFi connection
I have a BeagleBone Black connected via USB.
I can ssh into the BBB no problem. What I can't do (which I'd like to be 
able to do) is to access the internet using my laptop's connection.

I've tried this:
_
1. SSH to the BBB:

ssh debian@192.168.7.1

2. In the BBB console type the following:

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2
sudo route add default gw 192.168.7.1

3. In the linux console of host system (Ubuntu) type:

sudo su
#wlan0 is my internet facing interface, eth1 is the BeagleBone USB 
connection
ifconfig eth1 192.168.7.1
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j 
MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

4. Set the DNS server address in the BBB console:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
_

It doesn't work.

I've tried this (creating a bridge):

http://ask.xmodulo.com/configure-linux-bridge-network-manager-ubuntu.html

... and that didn't work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
