For Vista and Win 7 Hamachi users
Quote:
The following steps are the least you'll need to do in order to play most games:
How the metrics and the Hamachi properties should look like in Vista.
1. After installing Hamachi, run it once and insure you've configured your firewall properly and have set port forwarding on your router(s) (if you have one).
2. Re-prioritize your network adapter order:
For XP/2000: Start > Control Panel > Network Connections, then, on the menu bar, click Advanced > Advanced Settings and put Hamachi at the top of the list.
For Vista: Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center, then, on the left side panel, click on 'Manage Network Connections'. Now press Alt, click on Advanced > Advanced Settings and put Hamachi at the top of the list.
For Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center, then, on the left side panel, click on 'Change adapter settings'. Now press Alt, click on Advanced > Advanced Settings and put Hamachi at the top of the list.
3. Configure the gateway and metrics:
In Network Connections right click on Hamachi > Properties, select TCP/IP(v4) > Properties > Advanced. Ensure that the default gateway is 5.0.0.1, if not, then add/edit it and set its metric to Automatic (this is the Gateway Metric).
Below 'Default gateways' tick 'Automatic metric' (this is the Interface Metric).
Quick notice: Some users have reported that their internet connection fails when Hamachi is turned on. Removing the Hamachi gateway (5.0.0.1) should resolve the problem. It is not known why this is happening, but it might be the ISP's fault. Entering a Gateway Metric manually (for example, the default "1500") can restore the internet connection, but gaming functionality may still not be available.
4. If you're running Vista disable TCP/IPv6 (untick it in the Hamachi properties)
5. If you're running Vista ensure that Hamachi appears in the 'Network and Sharing Center' as a 'Private Network' .
If it doesn't, then press customize (at Hamachi, of course) and set it to 'Private Network'.
6. Reboot.
7. Create/Join a Hamachi network and check to see if you can ping/chat with one another. If either one of these don't work ensure you haven't forgotten anything and check again. Still not working? check section 3.1 and 3.2 of the 'Advanced Guide' below.
8. The game host must be running Vista when playing with XP users!
For those who want know where to find this and to view the advanced guide:
I am buying a new PC soon, so I am gonig to need this.
Just a question, will this work with the UDP dll? or is this the IPX only? _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT
Problem!
I need help here Tony(or someone else who knows)
You see those red rings? I have to fill in these with something vaild, otherwise this dont work.
So what should I write there? _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT
Forget above, this picture made me slow my above problem:
I tested this with another guy(he use XP SP2).
I enterd Network, I saw his name, I created a game, he joined me. Then when I press ready game say: "xxx do noy have this map".
In other words, this do not work
Note that we also tried he creating, no diffrence.
I guess there is no solution
BTW has anyone tested this on RA2/YR? Nowhere in that guide does it say that this work for RA2 _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT
uhmm if you use the UDP patch (wsock32.dll) you don't have to mess with those settings at all.
You just fire up Hamachi and host a network game
and make sure everyone on the game uses the UDP patch or else it will not work.
If Hamachi still doesn't work try using a older version such as 1.0.1.5 1.0.1.5 works best for old games regardless if they use UDP or not. _________________ Last edited by Tore on Thu Mar 04, 2010 6:32 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
Yes, I use UDP method. It still didnt work with Hamachi 1.0.1.5
It wont work no mather what version I have becuse RA2 UDP method require NWLink IPX, and fvcking Vista and Win7 dont have that.
When I used 1.0.1.5(on both computers offcourse), I could launch the game, but then the screen went black(crashed). _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT
- The creator must be the XP user, if the Win7 user create, it wont work.
- The XP user should not install NWLink IPX
- Hamachi should have topp priority on advanced settings
- Win7 user should have TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 enabled or disabled. If one is enabled and other one is disabled, it wont work.
In a hour, I am going to test this how lagfree and smooth this is. _________________ "I'll be staying strapped cuse my mac-eleven make my nuts bigger" QUICK_EDIT
