de exile 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Hamachi is probably one of the best tools in the world. So, being the best tool in the world, i thought i'd share it with you guys Introduction: What is hamachi? Hamachi is a versitile tool, that "organize two or more computers with an Internet connection into their own virtual network for direct secure communication". What this means is basicly you can set up and LAN connection between you and anybody else in the world as long as you both have hamachi. Have a firewall or modem? No problem, Hamachi compensates! Quote from the Hamachi website: "Think - LAN over the Internet. Think - Zero-configuration VPN. Think - Secure peer-to-peer. Access computers remotely. Use Windows File Sharing. Play LAN games. Run private Web or FTP servers. Communicate directly. Stay connected. " Why use hamachi? Hamachi is free and safe, it takes no technicle knowledge at all to use and is very versitile. It has a clean interface so even the first time go'ers can easily set up and VPN. Like i said from getting started: hamachi requires no technicle knowledge of computers, it compensates for firewall and modem so no comfiguration is needed. Another major advantage about hamachi is that you can connect to multiple "LAN servers" with only one account. Each LAN server can also consist of many people. What can i use Hamachi for? When thinking of how to use hamachi, just think what you could do if you had a LAN connection to the other persons computer. Some uses include: -Using VNC -Playing LAN games -Sharing Files The possibilities are endless... Basic Interface Because of Hamachi's clean interface, not much explaining is needed for the button's functions, but here are just a few basics. Further Info The very first time you open Hamachi, there will be a very short, but very in depth tutorial which i highly recommend. A more technicle explination of Hamachi from Wikipedia Hamachi's homepage, you can download the program here and find some answers to questions Help If you are having trouble using hamachi, feel free to post it here, but before doing so, please check the Support database on hamachi's homepage and search it up on google. last words After reading this introduction, i hope you have learned- just like millions of people around the world, the great tool that is hamachi.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 7, 2008 Mamachi client problem Hamachi - Your Next Best Friend We recently installed Hamachi at a friends location and have yet to get it to work properly. The newly added client shows an arrow pointing down on my display. It also shows "relayed slow". Other locations seem to work OK but this location is still unusable. I can ping this location but the times are are running in the high 150's. Also I can not connect to his desktop using UltraVNC. I get the feeling this is a router -- port forwarding problem. Any ideas on how we can get this thing to work? Thanks -reply by Terry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 This might helpHamachi - Your Next Best FriendTry this. In XP go to control panel, Then Network Connections, Then at the top you should see the menu bar, Click on advanced, Click advanced settings. Then simply move hamachi to the top of that list. The problem is that ages gives you the IP of the highest priority network device. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Here is how you do it in vista, Cheers. PS If this doesn't work use Hamachi 1.0.1.1, and be carefull with Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 routers. This router is the reason I couldn't figure out the problem for 2 years. If anyone has any idea why I'd be happy to know. -reply by SlyNine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
