Black and USB cable
A computer
with working internet.
Description:
I assume
that you have Beagle bone black and a computer with windows 7.Once you start
with your Beagle bone black, you find requirement for internet connectivity.
Here I want to show How to connect your BBB with your computer’s internet. You
can have Internet connection in your computer by Wi-Fi, data cards, LAN or even
sharing your smart phone’s internet.
1
Insert
your Beagle bone black into USB.
2
Connect
it with ssh using ip 192.168.7.2. (I assume you have already installed putty).log
in as root.

Now
let’s try first ping command. We will do ping
198.168.7.1 which is ip of your host pc. It is working.
4
But
when you try 8.8.8.8 which is ip of Google’s name server. It will not work.
5
Open
control panel -> Network and Internet. Now in search Box type Network, you
will find network connection. Or simply follow this path Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Now
Right-click your internet connection, select Properties, select Sharing Tab. Click "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet
connection". Select the BeagleBone Black's network connection under
"Home networking connection:" Click OK.

At
this stage if you have any ssh connection in putty you may lose it.

Now
do this:

Right-click
the BeagleBone Black's connection, select Properties.
4
Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4),
Click Properties.
5 Click "Optain an IP address
automatically".
6 Click "Obtain DNS server address
automatically".

Click
OK. That is all for your Computer.
For BBB:
1
Open
terminal using putty.

Now
we will route internet through our window 7 based host PC. & use Google’s
DNS server as DNS which is 8.8.8.8. You can search about 8.8.8.8.
route add default gw 192.168.7.1
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
To keep it on
Every Startup:
If you don’t
want to do this all things on every startup then you can follow following
steps.
Use nano /opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh .
Add these two
lines as shown in image and save it.
route add default gw 192.168.7.1
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
That’s all.
