I'm not sure what the problem could be. I've confirmed that those steps
are all I need to do on my host computer to get everything working.
Also, as far as I recall, the only thing I had to do on the FreeRunner
was give it a different nameserver. For reference, the appropriate part
of /etc/network/interfaces on my FreeRunner reads:
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.202
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
gateway 192.168.0.200
up echo nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.x > /etc/resolv.conf
up echo nameserver xxx.xx.xxx.x >> /etc/resolve.conf
with the x's replaced by the IP's that I found at /etc/resolv.conf on
the host computer.
Even without a correct nameserver, though, I would think you should
still be able to access the internet, e.g.
ping 209.85.171.104

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but here's what I get when I
type "route" on a terminal on the FreeRunner:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 usb0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.0.200 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 usb0
