nah he actually copy pasted the whole thing from the shockwave forum so that kind of got me a bit irritated.

Anyways. What we have a 2 networks official created by us. the password is simple.

You join the network, play the game and leave. this way there is a nice rotation of people going on. each day i remove people who are not online to allow new people to join in. its perfect. You always have someone to play with and you wlawyas have someone different to play with. so you get quality and quantity at the same time.

Also we have a pinned topic where people can post their own hamachi networks.

seriously Hamachi si the best thing that has ever happened to increase online popularity of mods.

Yeah, I guess thats a grump worthy complaint.

Hamachi has not only been fantastic for Mods, but also for older games that don't have online netowrks anymore and games that only supported LAN games.

I do have a question about hamachi though.... some one might have tried this.
Once installed it sits in the connection list as a network adapter. Can the IPX protocol be enabled on the Hamachi adapter? This would rock for old IPX only games such as StarCraft or Descent.

Another Game Hamachi fixes is Dawn of War... DoW has a CRIPPLING network bug that prevents it from using NATed IP address (behind a router). ALL of my friends and myself use home routers... so we can't play DoW togeather (The reason I went back to ZH and found Contra), until we found Hamachi. the LAN IP bypasses the NATed IP and we can merrily game once more. FOR THE EMPEROR!
