Play old lan games over internet using Hamachi

NAT-Routing and port-forwarding

If your internet connection is NAT-routed, it is possible that you have to add port-forwarding settings to your router. Here is the ports that Hamachi uses:

TCP 12975 (initiator port)
TCP 32976 (session port)
UDP 17771 (relay connection port)

I checked my network monitor:

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 - Network Monitor

Hamachi is currently using 12975, but its good to forward all of those 3 ports.

So that's it! Me and my friends setup Hamachi like this, and we can ping each other and see created LAN games. We have played Torchlight 2, WarCraft 3, Supreme Commander 1, etc etc...

step 6. I can't see Hamachi in "Adapters and Bindings" window. What to do now? (I did step 3 wrong, I lanched the program...)

hey, so i've followed your steps before and they worked out fine, but i recently had to reinstall hamachi and now the settings applied in step 10 won't save after i restart my computer (and it says i have to restart my computer for the settings to actually be applied). any idea why this might be and what i can do? i've tried it a hundred times.

When I go to advanced settings in network connections I do not have a Hamachi connection. just my LAN connection.

Guys use the internet LAN program called Tuungle. it works for all games
Tsartomat Placeholder - June 28, 2013

Nikhil - May 2, 2013
Is Mw3 gonna work............!
Blackmed - April 16, 2013
hmmm, I can get into a game, my friend can see my game, though when he tries to connect, it says connection failed. Also, at step 24, my Hamachi network is an: Unidentified network, and I cannot change it to home network, since 'Public network' is black and not highlighted as blue.
Ted Karlsson - April 17, 2013
As I wrote down there. use Tuungle instead.. much easier and 100% work
Ted Karlsson - April 10, 2013
For all of you out there, the only thing who works for mythology is tuungle, i play with it myself and its the best internet lan program iv seen even its beta. So download and just make an account then there is an tutorial for eatch game inside the program. Easy,

I followed all those steps but the Hamachi network is not showing as active. Here's a screenshot

Ted Karlsson - March 3, 2013
Lars I have the same problem as you and I dont know the problem.:/
Wiretuts - March 3, 2013
Check what i replied to Lars.
Ted Karlsson - March 3, 2013
we both did the same thing, no luck the only thing that changed was that we found eatch other without searching for the IP adress. now I need to try change settings in the router then :p
Wiretuts - March 3, 2013
Check your router model and find it from here http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm .
Lars - March 1, 2013
I can see my friends game on Age of mythology, but i can't join it, "Attempting to connect" forever, and ive done everything above.
Wiretuts - March 3, 2013
Did your friend do things as the same way? One cause of this problem can be missing port-forwarding settings. If your router is set to NAT, then you have to access your router and do port-forwading settings.
I don't get portfowarding part but everything else I did and still can't ping to my friends.
Wiretuts - February 27, 2013
It's possible that your friends firewall blocks pings (ICMP Echo Requests). Step 26, is that step where i allow pings to come through from Hamachi.
