BBB can not access Internet via USB to Win-10

Question

I can SSH to 192.168.7.2 OK.

I can connect to virtual USB COM port OK.

I can connect to virtual serial COM port to JTAG OK.

Above using putty

I can Firefox to 192.168.7.2 OK

I can not ping off the BBB to an external address. I.E. ping 23.194.117.73 ping to 192.168.7.1 OK.

Destination	Gateway	Genmask	Flags Metric Ref	Use Iface
default	192.168.7.1	0.0.0.0	UG	0	0	0 usb0
192.168.6.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.252 U	0	0	0 usb1
192.168.7.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.252 U	0	0	0 usb0

Is the Win-10 set up to forward packets? I need some help here. Thanks.

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.
