Globe Wimax doesn't allow port forwarding

This is Teamviewer 6 on a Debian Linux
Have you been a Globe Wimax subscriber and realized, why can't I forward a port? You need to forward your port if you have an IP Camera in your network and wish to view it from the internet, browse and transfer files from your NAS (Networked Attached Storage), or Host your own website from your computer, or you want to host a game server for your friends to logon to.



This is a Session from a Win7 desktop logged in to the Debian Linux
desktop

Here is a temporary solution for those you having problems behind Globe's Broadband Proxy. I use a  neat software tool  such as Teamviewer. You can download them for free personal use, just head over their site and grab some. Regardless of your OS, because there is a version for every flavor of OS you use.

First is to install it on your host pc, and also install it on a client pc/mobile device (laptop, iphone, itouch, ipad, android smartphone or tablet). I will not go into detail about installing it, because you can install it easily by following the install wizard. Teamviewer uses a random password and unique ID to identify the host pc accross the teamviewer network, which will be the ID of the pc you want to connect to. Take note of the ID that automatically generated for you by Teamviewer. You can configure it to use a permanent password or allow a client to connect without user intervention on the host pc. This is very useful if you are outside your home, and wants to connect to your home pc (Teamviewer needs your host to be turned on and online).

Second is to install Teamviewer to your client device (This is the computer or device you will use to control remotely your host pc) Follow the same procedure, but this time use the ID of the host computer you want to connect to and type in the permanent password you set to log in and create a session. Note: (You can freely use this between devices that has the same version of Teamviewer or You can only connect a lower version with a higher version and not a lower version to higher version.)

Once you logged in, you will be able to use the host pc as if you are physically infront of your home pc. This works if both devices are online. With Teamviewer you can easily do tasks or transfer files bothways, run applications on host pc without the hassle of configuring your router and modem to do port forwarding.

There is another Tool you can use that has the same functionality like LogMeIn/Hamachi.
