Setting up Hamachi

Any one of you will have to create a network in Hamachi. You'll be asked to set a password too, for protection purposes. Once this is done, ask all the others in your group to join the network, by giving them the network name and the password.
  • Turn off or disable your firewall when you play using Hamachi. If you are using the Windows firewall, remember to turn it off from the Control Panel.
  • If turning off firewall doesn’t work, try setting exceptions for ‘Half Life Launcher’ from within the firewall program.
  • Run Hamachi. Click the last button and choose Preferences. Then click Window and check the Show “Advanced…” peer menu item checkbox and click OK.

For every new player who joins your network(s) you have to do the following steps:
  • Right click the player’s entry in Hamachi
  • Click Advanced.
  • In the Peer VPN alias box enter the first three parts of your Hamachi IP address (example: 5.46.80) and add the last part of the player’s IP address ( example: .190) so that it makes a new IP address.
  • Click OK and then exit Hamachi. Launch Hamachi again.

NOTE - Every single player has to set an alias for every other player on his network, and the alias addresses have to be unique.

Basics

Things You'll Need to Do

1. Install Counter Strike 1.6 (No steam)

2. Install Hamachi 1

3. Setup Hamachi 1

4. Disable all Firewalls

Basic Concept


Hamachi is a program that creates a VPN (Virtual Private Network). So, the computer treats your friends over the internet as friends over a LAN connection. The procedure for playing over the internet without hamachi, is a far more complicted procedure involving Port forwarding and a Dedicated server setup.
