Second, NHL94? Come on! Why not try a game from this century? Third, I have seen similar things happen in games where the clients get out of sync with each other. It's an issue with the game, not the network. I would wager that your kluge of a setup isn't exactly standard for the hardware and software you are running. It's a minor miracle that it worked at all. -Mike Not sure… first, how are you hooking your Sega systems up via Hamachi? Second, NHL94? Come on! Why not try a game from this century?

We connected fine and started playing the game but then it went out of sync. We were both playing separate games within the game and I was a minute ahead and whatever we were doing in each our games worked in the others game. Example, when the period was over for me my brother was still playing. I was on the menu screen and the cursor was going up and down as he moved his guys. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Are there any suggestions on how to clear this or is it just to basically restart a new game? Any suggestions are appreciated.

It's been many moons since I fudged around with Hamachi, but it seems to me that there's a setting within Hamachi itself to allow browsing. But then, I am thinking that that just sets the firewall permissions for that connection. Go to your connections settings and see if there's something preventing the Hamachi connection from allowing shared folder browsing. Good luck, let me know how it works out. If it doesn't, I'll see if I can't get more info for you. -Mike Tough to tell; off hand, I would guess firewall settings.

I am hoping you can help me as well. I am trying to connect to a remote server using Hamachi. The server is XP and my computer is a Mac (OS platform). I easily installed the Hamachi software. I can ping the server. However, I cannot browse the server. My browse option is grayed out. Would you know how to correct this issue? Thanks, Gary Mike,

Open a DOS box and type tracert 5.x.x.x with his address in the 5.x.x.x part. This will tell you where the communication breaks down. Or at least it might help. If you are getting to your ISP and not to his, then that would tell you that his IP is not routing 5.x.x.x addresses (although, to them, it should look like something other than a 5.x.x.x address, but nonetheless). -Mike Find his Hamachi address… should be 5.x.x.x.

I haven't been messing with Hamachi lately, so I'm no longer well-versed in how it works. So, the 3rd person CAN connect? But then you can't ping him? Network adapter drivers as well as routers etc. have different ways of allowing and disallowing things. Some of them disallow pings. Have you tried tracert? Can you connect via other means (file sharing, for instance)? -Mike That’s a tough one. I haven’t been messing with Hamachi lately, so I’m no longer well-versed in how it works.

I and 2 other friends are trying to connect together for online gaming. 2 of us are able to connect, ping and play easily with each other. However, the 3rd person is only able to connect to the Network. When we try pinging each other it does not work. To date we have tried turning of all Firewalls, re-downloading Hamachi (so we have the same version) but still no luck. Any suggestions. We have tried the Hamachi website but my friend has still had no luck... we just cannot get it to ping each other. I don't know what else to check/try. Any advise?? Cheers mate.

So i just trying to make one instant PVP server so we can kill each others(in game offcorse :D) with no donators around :D Thank you Mike one more time and have nice day. :D Cool thank you Mike.

This assumes you trust your friends. You can turn it back on later as you get issues resolved. You may wish to turn off file and print sharing for this connection as well. Step 2, you didn't mention that you'd created a virtual LAN. Create one, give your friends the name and password and get everyone connected. You should see them listed in Hamachi along with their 5.x.x.x IP addresses. Step 3, see if you can ping them via their 5.x.x.x IP addresses. I don't know anything about running private WoW servers so I can't help you there. What's wrong with the public servers?

I trying to make my Private World of Warcraft server so me and my 7 frends can play there when we are boring. We all use windows XP and use default XP firewall... we did set firewall so we can connect... we can chat with other but we can't see PING(request time out). I try all, i search on internet for problem and how to resolve it but nothing helps... i did go on Hamachi forum and look it there bu nothing helps...still no ping... actualy i did spend 6 or more ours trying to fix it but no luck... all people say that i need to give my Hamachi IP and they put it that on realm list so they can connect with my realm, but they can't error (login server down)... i did set evrything good cause i can log on my server, cause my server and my wow they didn't connected... and problem isnt Hamachi IP cause i use that same IP to connect to my server maybe problem is cause we cant ping each others? maybe i didn't set firewall good cause i did it my own and i think it is ok, i just add Hamachi on list. Maybe i need to add new port? Any help is good i don't have any ideas left. Or if u know any online guide for this. Thank you.

Me and my friend connected to a network. It was a network a buddy of my friend made, so we were 3 people in the same network. Im gonna call us Me, Friend and Buddy. Now the weird thing is that everyone can ping each other except i cant ping my friend. My friend can in fact ping me. And then we try to play a game of Dawn Of War. If i host a game only buddy can join it but my friend cant find it. If my friend hosts the exact opposite happens. If Buddy hosts we can all join. The weirdest thing i have ever seen =S The problem has to be on my computer because we can all ping each other but I can ping my Friend. If it makes any difference i use Vista and the others uses xp, if it helps. Ya well, if you have the answer plz mail me or something =D Ok i have a tricky one, i cant figure it out.

Whenever that happens to me, it's usually because I have the same username on both computers, but each has a different password (especially if the remote computer's user has NO password). I've never been able to resolve this either. What I do when this happens is try the administrator account for the remote box. Sorry I can't be more help. I sympathize, because I've had this frustration before myself. I just haven't figured out how to resolve it yet, other than to make sure all like usernames on my computers have the same password as well. Good luck.
