Lately me and some friends been tryong to play Age of Empires 2, Microsofts hosting for this has gone down, there are a few other ways people are finding matches, I was to use Hamachi, especially since I have no clue how to use it and I hear a lot of talk about it. Me and my friend setup a network and are both joined to it, but hosting a LAN game doesn't show up, so any tips would be great.
 
you need to make sure its portforwarded , 12975 i think, also

in network and shareing center, click the left tab that says change adaptor settings.

then press alt and click advanced , advanced settings, and move hamachie to the top of that list.

Click to expand...

Already moved our hamachis to the top for when we are gaming, I'll give the port forwarding a try. I have done a bit of searching on google and was shocked, there really doesnt seem to be a ton of info out there, yet I always heard about people using it to game.
 
yeah i only just got hamachi working for warcraft 3 yesterday...

portforwarding 12975 and 6112 (default warcraft port) but the clients still need to use a lan emulator to connect. im always host.
 
Does every game need a LAN emulator, or just Warcraft?
 
i cant answer that question, i dont know :*( the only game iv ever used it for is warcraft 3.


i dont think they do, im also willing to bet i dont even need to use hamachie to make the lan emulator work. but its working now so im not going to change anything.
 
I don't use a LAN emulator for WC3...

And for Apprentice too.
 
I've used it to play Rainbow Six Vegas 2 co-op a few times and some Battlefield with my friends on a local game. I really like the program -just wish more of my friends were on it.
 
I would use http://www.tunngle.net/en/

It's better than Hamachi..and it work's without any forwarding that I have seen so far. There's also pre-setup rooms for the games already. Just launch it before you play and then hop in a LAN game.
