To quick join a server open the SWBF2 FM.php with the hamachi.exe in your programs folder "After you install hamachi and get a account".

1.Hamachi allows multiple computers to connect and act as a LAN.

The problem with hamachi most the time is you have to configure the internet connection protocal before starting the game.

Since hamachi is acting as a LAN everyone that joins the "LAN MENU" or "offline multiplayer" needs to configure the hamachi protocal correctly before the LAN will work. Your hamachi ip must be used ingame,otherwise your not using LAN ingame just your normal ip.

-----------------------------Windows XP-------------------------------


Notes:2a.Open up the Control panel in the settings of you computer.Then open the network connections menu.

At the top bar, under the advanced tap open up the advanced settings menu then move the hamachi protocal above your main ip.

Then restart your computer.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading the "Gaming over Hamachi" doc, and setting up your connection to work with hamachi.

You may have to disable the windows firewall"for hamachi" and in some cases you may not be able to use a router or wireless connection to play the game.
Disable windows firewall "At your own risk".

-------------------------------Windows Vista----------------------------------
a. Click the startmenu, type in ncpa.cpl into the search field, click ENTER

b. In the new window, click "alt" on your keyboard, click the advanced tab, then click advanced settings.

c. In the adapter/bindings tab under connections, use the up/down arrows to relocate the "hamachi" network connection to the top. This will make your game choose the hamachi network connection as default.

d. Now fire up your game and host/join a game through the hamachi server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.Hamachi Basic Setup

1. Download and install hamachi

2. Allow Through Software Firewall When prompted ( Most of the time this happens once hamachi is launched for the first time or you try to join/host a game while using hamachi.

3.Go to network connections ( i assum both vista and xp users know where this is if you dont just ask)

Go to the Advanced tab ( Vista users have to press alt on the keyboard for the menu to be shown) then click advanced settings...

Inside here you will see all your network adapters listed, what you need to do here is make sure hamachi is the first adapter on the list.

If its not just select hamachi and move it all the way up .

Click Ok to save and close .

4. Go to your network connections open up hamachi check ur tcp ip settings ( TCPIPv4 for vista users) make sure eveyrhtings set to automatic detection.

Very Important - Make sure the Default Gateway is 5.0.0.1
if you cant see the default gateway area grayed with this ip click on advanced .. under default gateways add 5.0.0.1 uncheck automatic metric and key in 1500 Press OK to save and close.

5. Reboot and start hamachi again create a network and get your buddies to join in make sure all of you can ping each other successfully. Wait for atleast four tries as sometimes you will get a request time out on the first try. If you cant ping each other continue reading after Step 6

6.Some games run out of the box once the above is set and nothing much further is needed so test your game and if it works you can stop reading now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


B.Cant Ping/ Chat issues

1. Make sure you allow hamachi client through your firewall. UDP/TCP

2. If your firewall allows IP's through enter your hamachi ip and allow it through for both UDP and TCP

3.Closing a firewall may sometimes resolve your issue but this is not recommended. so configure your client and ip's through ur firewall properly to avoid security risks . ( if you dont know how to do this just ask )

4.If you use a router you most likely using NAT. In whichcase see next section on configuring NAT. SOMETIMES USERS DONT NEED TO PORT FORWARD SO TRY UP TO STEP 3 AND TRY TO PING EACH OTHER. If still no go read on


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


C.Configuring Routers

1.Next open hamachi preferences ( the little gear icon on the bottom right ) Go to the status tab and select detailed configuration.
Note - If you use a proxy enter it here .

Select UDP PORT under connecting through NAT and put a port number something higher that 45000 usually provides better connections.

Remeber this port and allow and port forward UDP port via ur router.

If you are unsure about portforwarding this is the site to visit as it has Port forwarding for almost every router explained in detail.

D.Can Ping Peer But cant see LAN Game

This is probably the most common issue eveyrone has .. and its really simple to understand why . You have two networks and the game is confused which one to connect to .. so to resolve this follow the steps below

1.run hamachi ...

2. Let hamachi connect then disable your normal internet connection and any other network adapters ...

3.Leave hamachi network enabled and running let it try to reconect if it tries...

4.start the game then go into the LAN lobby

5.alt - tab back to windows enable your internet go back into the game .. Voila your game shoul be there.

this forces the game to use hamachi as its network adapter ( works for 99 % of the games )


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E.If All Else Fails

If none of the above steps have worked for you dont worry theres still a few more things ....

1.Uninstall hamachi from your computer

2.Google hamachi 1.0.1.5 and install it.

3.Configure it as explained above( hamachi 1.0.2 and above seems to have some sort of bug on some systems )


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


F.IPX Games Over Vista

A lot of people think IPX games cant be played over vista. But thanks to some genius we now have a patch ....

rapidshare.com rapidshare.comipx-setup.rar.html

run it reboot and voila u can use the ipx protocol .. now connect hamachi go to lan and play away..


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


G.Lag Issues

If your game lags there are a few things you can try.

1. Get a faster net connection Very Happy

2.Open task manager --- > processes ( vista users please click show processors from all users make sure you are in admin mode)

Find hamachi set priority to normal

If you are a dual core / core 2 / qaud core etc user set affinity to use only CPU 0 uncheck all others .

note - You have to do this eveytime you run hamachi unfortunately . if some one knows the sintaxt to add to the hamamchi target to use only one core please let us know this would avoid the hassel of doing this everytime.




3.Hamachi:Gaming over Hamachi

[edit] Overview

Hamachi can be used to connect you and friends together for gaming. Since every game does it's networking a little differently, some may work "right out of the box" and some may take a bit of tweaking.
[edit] Detail

Follow these steps as a general guideline for ensuring gaming works.

1. Once you and your friend have Hamachi set up, ensure you can both ping each other, and chat with each other. If either of these don't work, stop and ensure you've configured your firewall properly.
2. Some games are not intelligent when it comes to having more than one network adapter, and you may need to re-prioritize your network adapter order. Go into Network Connections > Advanced > Advanced Settings > and put the Hamachi adapter at the top of the list.
3. At this point, see if your game works. If not, check out our game specific articles

[edit] Troubleshooting

Disabling your firewall is not an effective solution and will not fix your issue.

By far the most common reason games don't work is due to an improperly configured routing table. Windows manages this on it's own, but it not efficient at it when it comes to broadcast routes on multiple network adapters.

1. Run "route print" was used from command prompt
2. Make sure that the Hamachi network adapter has a default gateway of 5.0.0.1. If not add it under TCP/IP (v4) settings for the Hamachi Adapter. Go into the adapter's Properties > TCP/IP(v4) Properties > Advanced > new gateway of 5.0.0.1 with a metric of 1500.
3. Make sure you have a broadcast route (255.255.255.255) going out through your Hamachi IP. If you don't, flush your routing table with "route -f" at the command prompt and reboot. Recheck your newly created routing table via "route print" after rebooting. Recheck routes and ensure the broadcast route is there.
4. Some firewalls blindly block broadcast packets (255.255.255.255). If your firewall allows you to configure rules based on the interface, put 255.255.255.255 into a trusted zone on the Hamachi interface.
5. Another tip for firewalls would be to put the 5.0.0.0 network (or 5.0.0.1 - 5.254.254.254 range) into the trusted zone of your firewall. Do this if you know and trust the people connecting to you, otherwise add their Hamachi IPs manually.
