BEAGLEBK: Mac OS X Internet sharing

Part Number: BEAGLEBK

I have a BeagleBone Black and I'm trying to get it to connect to the Internet (specifically, a GitHub repository) through a shared Internet connection with my Mac running OS X Catalina. Initially the board boots up fine and takes the IP address 192.168.7.2, so the USB connection works fine. However, when I turn on Internet Sharing in my System Preferences, the USB connection resets and comes back with a self-assigned IP address that I cannot connect to at all. How do I get the IP address to actually remain what it should be when I turn Internet Sharing on?

I saw something on the Internet about changing the IP address space to 192.168.2.2 since that's where Macs default to with Internet Sharing but following the instructions I found here: http://theduchy.ualr.edu/?p=646 did not solve the problem.
