Hello,
I say share internet connection on 3G modem by following procedure
properties → sharing → select the LAN connection … then press ok

Sharing is done.

But , OS (Vista) assigns that LAN connection a IP : 192.168.0.1 & net mask as : 255.255.255.0

This is not in range of 192.168.7.2 of BBB.

Because of this my connection between BBB & PC breaks. So I can not SSH into BBB.

Regards,
Vinayak

Hi, I had connected dongle to pc. BBB to PC.
Yes, for me it, it worked for 2 times. May be after resetting board, we need to do setting again. There is different procedure to make this permanent change. Pls check derek molly site.
