ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2
route add default gw 192.168.7.1


In the linux console of host system type

sudo -i
#wlan1 is my internet facing interface, eth3 is the BeagleBone USB connection
ifconfig eth3 192.168.7.1
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan1 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth3 -j ACCEPT
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

In case network not accessible then type the following in BBB terminal

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

Note: Assuming that wlan1 of host system should be shared with USB-Ethernet eth3. User may change these configuration matching to their interface names.
