Sharing Sprint Data Connection in Windows 7

Sharing your sprint data service in Windows is way easier then you think. I have the Sierra 589, but Im sure this applies to any of the sprint data connections that use Sprint Smart view version 1.28 . The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have the latest version of Smart View. Once you have that out of the way open the program up and choose Tools from the top menubar. Go all the way down to settings and navigate to the Hardware Tab. Look for a check box called “allow simultaneous connections” give it a check and click Ok. This will prevent Smart View from disconnecting while you have 2 network connections running. Next hit the Start Button -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing -> Change Adapter Settings. Right click on CDMA (Yours may be named differently if you have another type of cellular modem) go to properties. Click on the Sharing tab and check “allow other users to connect through this computer’s internet connection”. This will enable a DHCP server with the default IP scheme of 192.168.137.x/255.255.255.0 and and a gateway of 192.168.137.1. If you have your computer already on a network with an internet connection and a DHCP server this will cause some issues. If you have a switch plug plug into it with a network cable and do the same for any other computer you want to share your connection with and your good to go. Provided the network adpater of all the other machines are set to obtain an IP automatically. If you dont have a switch you can go from network card to network card if your only sharing with one pc.

Caller ID Spoofing

Recently I just had an experience with a telephone scam. A Jamaican man called up and informed us that we had entered a contest a year ago and won 575,000$. All I had to do was go to my local  WalMart an purchase a prepaid green dot VISA card ( he referred to it as a  VISA green money pack) for 375$. This was to pay the delivery fee for the 575,000$ check being delivered by an armored truck company. After stringing the guy along and having him call us back a few dozen times, I noticed that every time he called he called it was from a different phone number and they were all over the country. After the whole event blew over I started looking for how he was changing his caller id information. It turns out that this is a service you can purchase and use through your computer and phone.

If you’re a small business, processing credit cards is a must. Now you can process your clients cards from your Android phone. The App is called Merchant Pro and it’s a wonderful way to take your business on the road. I’ve personally used this application many times and it works like a charm and was fairly easy to setup. The biggest challenge was making sure I entered my API information correctly.
