You may be looking for some ways on how to share an internet connection using your globe tattoo or Smartbro broadband kit. The procedure is relatively simple. Just some few knowledge in networking and be able to follow simple yet detailed instructions. Sharing an internet connection using either globe tattoo or Smartbro WiFi kit has been a common practice by most "technically" inclined techies to be able to save on the cost of loading and individual purchasing of the WiFi kits.

However, there are several things to have to be able to share an internet connection using your Globe tattoo and Smartbro WiFi kits. Cables, computers, and of course the proper configurations. Let me also encourage (specially the newbies) to make some reviews on how to setup a home network and configuring ip's for LAN. So here is the tutorial for you so you can start sharing your internet connection via globe tattoo and Smartbro.


Things Needed For Globe Tattoo / SmartBro Internet Sharing

Several networked computers or at least two (OS : XP, Vista, or Win 7)
A Globe tattoo or SmartBro Wifi Stick


Procedure On How To Do Internet Sharing With Your Globe Tattoo or SmartBro Wifi Stick

1. First, you must have your computers have a network. To start with this, follow this procedure on how to setup a home network.

2. Once you have completed the networking procedure, we need to change the ip for computer with the internet connection. The computer that has Globe Tattoo or SmartBro dashboard installed SHOULD have an ip of 192.168.0.1 to serve as the gateway for the rest of the computers that are connected in your network.

To do this, go to "Control Panel" choose "Network Connections" and click right on the "Local Area Connection" and choose "Properties" and under the "General" tab highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click on the "Properties" button. Do the same configuration like shown below.

For the rest of the computers in the network, have the configuration as shown below (use 192.168.0.2 , 192.168.0.3 , 192.168.0.4 and so on... for the rest of the computers). Please use the ip of the computer that we did a setup earlier as the gateway ip for the rest of the computers. Use the configuration as shown below.

3. Once you got to the "Network Connections" window, click right on "Globe Broadband - Prepaid" network icon and choose "Properties" then go to "Advanced" tab. Check the box under "Internet Connection Sharing" that says "Allow other network users to connect..." Just click "ok" and see to check your configuration below.

4. Disconnect and reconnect your Globe Tattoo or SmartBro dashboard and test if the computers in your network already has a shared internet connection. If you ran over a problem, please check if your browsers are configured to use proxies. Please disable the proxies. And also consider checking the gateway ip of the connected computers.


This is the procedure on how to share internet with Globe Tattoo or SmartBro. Though this example is for Windows XP, the procedure with WIn 7 and Vista is very similar. Our setup is currently running with eight computers all connected to a switch. We also tried running proxy servers on Globe tattoo but we need to configure each networked computers with the same proxy as the gateway computer is connected on. Who says you can't run VPN connections using either Globe Tattoo or SmartBro to be shared in a network, well try it yourself - it does work with us!

UPDATE! : Since many are already publishing and revealing the new proxies to be used for Globe Tattoo Free Internet, I think it is time to publish it here as well. Long wait guys? Here is it! Just be creative in any way ok? But be warned that this free internet using globe tattoo and proxies WILL NOT LAST FOREVER as Globe, Smart, or Sun telecommunications networks will always find ways to patch their security loopholes.

You might be wondering how other people place their files or backups in the internet? The answer is cloud storage. Cloud storage is having your files uploaded online and is segmented then distributed to different servers or computers. Using this method can significantly increase file security. You don't have to worry how they did it or might your file still be intact when you will try to access it.

Your files are a lot safer when it is in cloud storage servers rather than in your USB flashdrive. You may be able to access and share your files anywhere in the world like accessing your email. What you need to do to be able to use the service is to sign up for a free account and then you're now ready to upload and share your files online. We will be listing some of the cloud storage services that offers small (at most 50 GB) online drive space for free.

Pros - Free, Portable, easy to download and share files

Cons - May take a longer time in uploading files.

So here is a list of Cloud Storage Sites

Dropbox.com

One of my favorite cloud storage options. Its features includes able sync files so that if you are to open a document from one computer with dropbox installed, you can also view those files to your other computers with dropbox installed and files shared. You can also access your files from different operating system like mac, linux, windows or even your ipad! By the way you'll get 2 GB of free storage and will increase if you refer dropbox to your friends.

SugarSync.com

SugarSync offers realtime backup of your files and able to share these files anywhere and even to using mobile devices. It enables us to steam your cloud saved audio files and even create galleries for your uploaded images. SugarSync gives 5 GB free cloud storage for personal accounts.

---

Box.net

An online virtual storage offering a wide array of features having been the choice for many. They may be offering a 10 GB of free space for individual plan and can actually increase the storage space with an account upgrade. Very easy to use and the console is very easy to understand.

---

AmazonClouD Drive

A cloud storage by Amazon. Amazon offers a free 5 GB online storage with an upgrade for your need of a larger space for a dollar per per. The best thing with this type of cloud storage is that it enables us to stream audio directly from your virtual storage account. This is perfect for storing mp3's and not so very good for document or file storage.

---

Windows SkyDrive

Made by microsoft and it boasts a lot of features and offering 25 GB of free storage for every account. That is way a good deal if you want to upgrade your plan with SkyDrive. This feature rich cloud storage has been in the market since 2007. When you say you want a good cloud storage, I'd say go for SkyDrive.

---

MemoPal

MemoPal has been developed mainly as a Microsoft client backup (though they also have Linux, Mac, Iphone, etc). It's strong feature is file sync and auto backup to a remote server via a well secured internet connection. Perfect for offices and personal use who needs constant backup of files.

---

ADrive

Other cloud storage companies cannot beat up ADrive's free 50 GB of cloud storage. That could hardly be matched and security wise, it's one of the best and preferred. What Adrive might have to improve is to open its doors to free users of some great features. The prices might be reasonable but I think more features should be accessible and the security for the free account is light.

---

IDrive

IDrive offers 2 GB free cloud storage for the personal account. Backup features is great and allows you to have backup schedules. The use of a proxy is a priced feature which enables you to heighten the security of your files to be backed up. The interface of IDrive is excellent. Really very to use and what amazes me is that it offers different file version backup that in case you'll accidentally delete a file, you can still access it!

---

Google Docs

Google docs has been around last 2006 and been a document storage of choice by many. I personally use Google Docs to store my office and personal documents. Why google docs is favored by many it that it enables to to convert documents to be converted to Google Docs format or PDF or even just retain its format. You can even edit the files online if you want to and share it online to your friends or whoever you want to share it with.

---

Zumo Drive

Zumo Drive allows 2 GB of free cloud storage for personal accounts. It boasts to trick your computer that when it save files on the local drive, it actually is using Zumo's online storage. Though designed for Mac, Zumo Drive also allows Windows users to enjoy its services. Zumo Drive is perfect for storing images for it has its own gallery which you can share online and for music files.

---

CX.com

You'll get 10 GB free online storage by CX.com. Like other cloud storage, its features includes file sync, auto backup of files, share, and even can be accessed anytime and anywhere using your computer or phone. It is compatible with Windows, Mac or Andriod

---

Syncplicity.com

With Syncplicity you don't have to worry a thing because once you got it installed in your computer, it monitors for file changes and automatically uploads those files to Syncplicity's servers. Syncplicity offers like any other cloud storage a 2 GB free of online webspace for a personal account.

---

Mozy

Though Mozy's service is not intended for sharing special with mobile devices, what makes Mozy out edge other providers is that it uses 128-bit SSL Encryption to ensure no data interception. Mozy provides standard support options and its interface is simple thus making it easy to use.


So here is a short list of cloud storage you can use for your free online storage of files and other media.

Using VPN is essential for companies to save money in using leased lines to connect to networked remote computers and share files over the internet.It also provides user safety that they will less likely be tracked by hackers and sniffers. May it be cable or wireless connection, VPN's come handy to use. In this tutorial we will be having to connect to a VPN server using your Globe Tattoo and a working ip proxy. Please be reminded that this lesson is for Educational Purposes ONLY.


Things We Need To Prepare

VPN installer
Working Proxy
Wifi Kit - Globe Tattoo
VPN Account


Procedure to Use VPN and Globe Tattoo

1. First thing that you should do is have a VPN account. We will be using AirVPN for creating an account. You can also try hostizzle.

After activating and registering your airvpn account, we will generate files needed to run our VPN client by going to "Members" tab then navigate to "Access without client". It will bring you to a new page and just the option using "proxy" then scroll down the page and click "generate". A download should then proceed after.

2. After generating and saving the files from AirVPN, download Portable OpenVPN.

3. Unzip Portable OpenVPN then locate and copy the earlier downloaded and generated files from your airvpn account to the data\config folder of OpenVPN.

4. Plug in your Wifi Kit ~ Globe Tattoo and install it. After its installation, do not connect it yet.

5. Make sure you have the profiles settings of your Globe Tattoo dashboard below to properly run openvpn. To be able to do the setting in your Globe Tattoo dashboard, go to "Options", "Profiles", and add a new profile as with the settings below.

Profile Name : YourName
Dial Number : *99***1#
APN : (Static) http.globe.com.ph

or

Profile Name : Your name
Dial Number : *99#
APN : (Static) www.globe.com.ph

Just play with the right Profile Setting. In my case, I had the second profile run on my kit.

6. Save the new profile and set it as default.

7. Install OpenVPN.

8. As OpenVPN is installed, an OpenVPN tray icon appears on the notification area. Click right on it and go to "Proxy Settings". Select "Manual Proxy" and provide a working proxy. We will be sharing the same proxy as 192.168.100.1:8080 and will terribly slow down our connection. It is good if you can provide another good or even better proxy. It is also good if you can share working proxies in this post by contacting us so we can share it to the rest.

Some claim to have these proxies running but did not provide the ports. Use port 80 or 8080 combination. Buy or rent a proxy if possible. The proxy I have given earlier works like a breeze.

~ 125.5.112.167
~ 156.154.81.65
~ 203.177.57.231
~ 203.177.57.225
~ 125.112.5.173

9. After having completed the above requirements, we can now start our vpn session. Click right on the OpenVpn icon and go to "Air", then connect. A dialog box will appear with the lines saying unable to connect.

10. Of course, we cannot yet establish a connection because your Globe Tattoo hasn't yet been connected. With OpenVPN running and trying to connect, go to your Globe Tattoo dashboard and click "Connect".

11. Wait for some time to let OpenVPn connect. If the connection fails, simply click right OpenVPN tray icon, go to "Air", and choose "Connect".

12. Wait until the OpenVPN icon turns its color from yellow to green. When the icon changes color to red, it is indicated that you are disconnected or cannot establish a connection and when it is yellow it is still connecting. Upon connection, enjoy browsing. :-)

This is a VPN lesson and the example is used for the purpose of knowing the power of VPN. If you are planning to use this method to gain free internet access using your globe tattoo, I STRONGLY disagree and discourage you. It is best if you subscribe for an internet plan from Globe Wireless Center.
