I’m trying to get the networking for the beaglebone over the usb0 cable to reach the internet. I’m using ubuntu 11.10 as the host pc. I eject the sd card and the wired connection connects.
on the host I have:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr d4:94:a1:2b:93:99

and on the beaglebone I have:

I’ve tried to enable NAT on the host using the following:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
echo “1” >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
This still doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried on ubuntu 10.04 LTS and ubuntu 11.10. I’m at a lost of what to try next.
