Hamachi is a totally different ball game and puts a 2nd network on your computer. SO your still trying to connect with your normal and first network.

Hamachi is for people who cant port forward.

Alright, I'll set it up again then let you know so you can try it. (I reset everything to start from scratch because I felt I'd messed with it too much and wanted to start from scratch to try again.)

Also a side note (maybe this was wrong the whole time), when setting it up, should I be using TCP or UDP, or both?

I just home. I'll be up for a few hours. If you are still playing then send me a message and I'll try to connect. Otherwise it will be tomorrow night.

I ended up getting it working but forgot to say so on here, sorry. It was a simple problem (I'd rather not say because of how foolish it was, but if you think it will help people in the future that are having similar issue, than I will let you know my mistake. But if not, I shall keep it to myself, lol.)

I appreciate your guys' help very much and I apologize for making it so difficult. You guys did your jobs phenomenally and completely correct, it's just that on my end I seemed to *ahem* well, let's just say 'overlooked' something very simple. You guys did help me with what I needed and after that I was at fault for it not working so I appreciate you guys continuing to try and help and being so patient with me. Thanks, you guys are the best!

This is by far the best and most helpful forum I've ever been on. So quick to respond too, it's great.



A satisfied customer.

Good to hear your all set :cheesy:

Since you are I will lock this thread :wink:

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I help with anything computer or network related :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
And a facebook like at the top of the page of my site is nice as well. ;)
