Jenspm's guide to using Hamachi (which btw, is the shit)

Hamanchi is awesome both for those who have cracked games (like me and legionair) and for those who don't.

Pro's:

• You can easily join your friends server ( just go to multiplayer => LAN )
• You can easily play with more than 2 people without doing a lot of planning before hand
• You can easily set up your own server with all the features you need
• You can play any LAN game over it
• You can play with me and Legionair

Con's:

• You use my bandwidth    (lol, I don't mind.)

How to set it up

• Visit this site and press download (filling out the questionnaire is optional.)
• When installed, press the "Power On" button in the bottom-left corner (sometimes it won't work, but you just have to try and try
• Click the button at the bottom, #2 from the right and press "Join existing server"

The Server
I have set up a server set up and it is on all day. When I hosted the games, EntertaineR_06 got a ping of 50 on it, so it's pretty good

Name:           BF2s EU Hamachi Server    (Case Sensitive!)
Password:      zocken

I just played a LAN match with EntertaineR_06 and NooBest and it worked perfectly

Also, the ping and lag depends on the distance between the players. If I host the game, Scandinavians and Europeans will have good ping. If Americans host the game, americans get good ping

Remember, LAN > Online Multiplayer (atleast in CoH), so go download it!



EDIT - Anyone on the server can start a LAN match with any game and anyone with the server with that game (cracked or not) can join it. So.. Those playing M2W or whatever can use the same Hamachi server as those playing CoH
