I have beaglebone black and I am trying to access internet over USB from my laptop. I am using putty to ssh into beaglebone But the problem is that when I try to ping my laptop using: PING 192.168.7.1. It fails. Following is the message that shows up on the screen:
PING 192.168.7.1 (192.168.7.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
After this nothing happen. It stucks here and after aborting the process using ctrl+C, it show up this message:
69 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 68019ms
How should I ping back to my laptop. It is running windows 8 while beaglebone is running angstrom. Please help…

That is simply saying that the ping isn't working at all.
How should I ping back to my laptop. It is running windows 8 while
beaglebone is running angstrom. Please help...
It's not clear (to me anyway) what exactly you're trying to do.
Are you saying that your laptop is connected to the internet and you
want to connect the Beaglebone Black via the laptop to the internet?
If so then you are going to have to do considerably more than you're
doing at present.
How is the laptop connected to the internet? The easiest approach, id
it's using a router or something, will be to get the Beaglebone Black to
connect direct to the router in some way.
... I may be completely misunderstanding what you're trying to do of
course! 
Ok so I had the same problem with trying to ping from beagle bone black rev C to my windows 8 laptop. Now I could ping from windows 8 but not vice-versa. So what I found out is that Windows 8 by default has a rule enabled to block all incoming ICMP packets. So what you need to do is go to

The only problem is I cannot ping from both Windows 8 to beaglebone black and beaglebone black to Windows 8 machine.

temporary close you window firewall or antivirus ( sometime u need to close firewall on your anti virus software like McAfee LiveSafe)
