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!

ATTENTION : Just this morning (05.05.11), I found out that having free internet using Globe Tattoo and Proxies doesn't work anymore. We will scour something for a freebie. :-) Please extend your patience.

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. This exploit shows a weakness in their security and we know that they will be looking for a solution. Again, these Proxy IP's are just temporary. :-)

10.200.xx.xx Play around and replace xx's

10.200.67.20
10.200.89.5
10.200.120.3
10.200.72.8
10.200.100.14

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.

What is a Torrent?

Downloading music, video, data and software has never been easy using torrents. Torrent has been in awhile and is a popular choice of downloading files than direct download. In direct download, a file is retrieved or downloaded continuously. It should be the perfect choice for download but what makes some turn down from it is because if there is an internet connection interruption or connection problem, you have to repeat the process of downloading. It wastes time through repeating unsuccessful downloads.

However in using t0rrents, downloading can be stopped or paused then resumed. This solves the problem with interrupted connection to the server with direct download. T0rrent downloads packet after packet and later assemble the broken files into its usable form. The availability of the torrent files greatly relies on the number of leechers and seeders. Leechers are computers that are part of the torrent network that retrieves the files packet after packet. The seeders however are the computers that has the full or had amassed a larger packet and shares the collected packets to the computer of the torrent network called leechers. That means if the leechers outnumber the seeders, the downloading of the packets will become terribly slow. It is best to download a file with a large number of seeders than leechers. One thing to note, t0rrent users are encouraged to seed any file available in their computers.


Do You Have a T0rrent Client?

A torrent client is a program you install on your computer to let you download your t0rrent file. There are a lot of torrent clients out there but I prefer to use utorrent because it is light and also has the portable version. Here I will be giving you a small list of some of the t0rrent clients in popularity order.

Utorrent
BitTornado
BitComet
BitTorrent
Shareaza
Frostwire


Best Torrent Search Engines?

T0rrent search engines are websites that has a pool of t0rrent files readily available from the local servers and from the computers included in the torrent network. Torrent search engines are not the same. Some share files privately and you need to have an invitation in order to be part of their community, this reduces the risk of having broken, virus infected and useless torrent sites. Also, torrent community members of that private torrent search engine are encouraged to seed.

Some torrent search engines doesn't require membership to be able to have access to their torrent database. So here is the small list of my favorite torrent search engines.

ThePirateBay
TorrentFunk
IsoHunt
Demonoid
Torrents.to
FlixFlux
KickAssTorrents
ShareReactor
BTJunkie
MiniNova
Fenopy


How to Download from Torrent Search Engines

1. Get a t0rrent client. A list was given above and just choose any of those. Once you have downloaded a torrent client, install it and follow the instructions given.

2. Having your t0rrent client already installed, go to your favorite t0rrent search engine and find the file you want.

3. Download the torrent file (it has a .t0rrent file extension)and open it. The torrent client should automatically open and download your file.

4. Wait until the download completes. Completion depends on the number of seeds and leechers. Be sure to choose the torrent files with more seeders than leechers.
