Super Dumbbutt Move

[Matthew Wright]

Hello I started to this procedure to connect my bbb to the internet through my computer.  

https://www.digikey.com/en/maker/blogs/how-to-connect-a-beaglebone-black-to-the-internet-using-usb#:~:text=You%20now%20need%20to%20share,connection%E2%80%9D%2C%20then%20click%20ok.

I ran 

sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1

on the bbb  (debian)

Now I can only connect to the device through wifi.  I lost my usb connection.  I tried to remove the default

sudo /sbin/route del default gw 192.168.7.1

but that didn't help.  

I would like the bbb to get the internet through the wifi and connect to my computer through the usb connection.

Here is what I used the last time I tested it. the '--in-interface' value will be machine specific.

fyi, copy paste messes with '-' and '--' 

# required on BBB 

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf 

sudo route add default gw 192.168.7.1

# Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop

sudo iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface enp0s25 -j MASQUERADE 

sudo iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface enxb0d5cccd8ab8 -j ACCEPT 

echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Hope it helps,

Have you configured the Wi-Fi interface on your Windows host to share the connection with the USB one connected to the BB. Note, usually when you set this, it changes the Windows USB IP to a different value and you have to change it back to 192.168.7.1.   Also, I have run into situations where I ended up having to disable the sharing on the Wi-Fi connection and then enable it again, especially if I had used it for another BB or similar device.

Cheers,

Jon
